This idea would involve economy, jobs, military, infrastructure, energy and environment: Bring our military home to serve our country by constructing renewable, clean energy sources, using the technology already available to the military, for clean, renewable energy & incorporate these technologies into the infrastructure (bridges and roadways constructed with materials to harness solar energy and wind power). Using ALL the money devoted to the defense department in defense of our planet.
