Pete Hegseth, Confirmed by Senator Dan Sullivan, Prioritizes Shipbuilding Over Climate Change and Electric-Powered Tanks
Jan 14, 2025, 04:51 PM
During a recent confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth stated that if confirmed as Secretary of the Navy, his focus will be on shipbuilding and military lethality rather than climate change. Responding to a question from Senator Dan Sullivan, Hegseth asserted that he would dismiss any Secretary of the Navy who prioritizes climate initiatives over shipbuilding. He further emphasized that the Secretary of the Army would not concentrate on electric-powered tanks, reiterating a commitment to military effectiveness over environmental considerations. Hegseth's remarks reflect a broader stance on defense priorities in the face of ongoing debates about climate policy within the military sector.
