The issue of global warming has proven devisive between liberals and conservatives. Our goal is to foment dialogue to bring focus to commonalities between the camps. I'm Chris Moline, LEED AP, a former Marine Corps 0351 Combat Assaultman, entrepreneur and journalist with one motivation for being a "tree hugger" - to divert dollars from the support of terror and minimize the impact to our national security. Not depending on a local grid to supply power to an FOB (Forward Operating Base) is a matter of green security. In fact, take it another step by reducing that installation's dependence on oil to generate electricity by making it more efficient, and you've put fewer "Motor T" folks at risk with fewer trips that would expose them to IED's or ambush.
It's true that II no longer carry an M16 or .45, but upon swearing in to the US Marine Corps, I took an oath with no expiration date to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same... So help me God." Welcome to a new special ops front.
