Yep. The environmentalist gets painted as the other and the guy indifferent to the environment gets painted as Regular Joe in his pickup truck. Even though, the military has actually in recent years been trying to call to attention the importances of alternative energy sources because it is a national security question as well.

The logistics of supplying power to distant bases, powering tanks, equipment, etc., means the military knows what the problem with fossil fuels are.

It’s why the military is investing in alt energy to make sustaining forward deployments easier - solar power is more cost effective in generating power than a diesel powered generator that needs constant resupply of fuel.
