    The bulk of their operations are logistics, which can be decarbonized. And military use isn’t generally subsidized in the usual sense of that word.

      Even the parts that still need fuel can use synthetic or bio, if there was ever an industry where costs don’t matter it’s the military. Besides, given how much dealing with fuel limit’s operations, any reductions in front end fuel use come with a directly proportional increase in capability.

      military still has to buy it. i mean the infrastructure to produce oil has to be there and in good working order. subsidized by the public as required.

      military will only decarbonize if it’s a strategic advantage that they understand. i haven’t heard any talk of them doing that except in out in the outer rim where it’s difficult to ship fuel.
