This is simply laughable. I reject such propaganda from the ecology-humanitarian point of view. Military's job is well known and that has nothing to do with being green (its not a strategic, tactical or any other goal, except when it cuts costs AND at the same time increases action/operation/effectivity/ability of the said unit(S)). At the current level of technology, such opportunities are few and most are without any doubt unspeakably counterproductive to the living environment. Why the PR dept.of US miliary allowed this thing out is beyond me.

Same sized fuel-tanks bigger range and operation time. Electrification, not so sure. Ofc, making everything nuclear could improve civilian technology.
