*This may give a needed kick in the ass to solar tech improvements.The private research sector is reliant on sparse hand-outs from the powers-that-be, while the military has carte blanche funding to do whatever the hell they want.
The premise of this new approach is to make the military more self-reliant in their power needs, as opposed to relying on the grid. Not a bad idea...one EMP & the grid ceases to exist. On a semi-relevant note; It is reported that in many of the areas seriously affected by the latest hurricanes, especially Puerto Rico, the only people with power for the foreseeable future are the ones that have their own solar PV.
