The Federal government is way too big for Trump to be able to interfere with all of it. US DoD is one of the loudest voices warning about dire consequences of AGW, and is trying to make itself as independent of fossil fuels as possible—air, land, and sea.

Nellis Air Force Base Builds Largest Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant in North America with SunPower

Benefits

  • Estimated annual energy savings of $1 million
  • Meets 25% of the base’s electricity requirements, serving over 12,000 people
  • Significantly reduces environmental footprint while providing energy security
  • Hedges against rising electricity prices
  • Supports Nevada’s Renewable Portfolio Standard
  • Will reduce carbon emissions by 24,000 tons over 30 years, equivalent to removing over 185,000 cars from the roads or planting 260,000 acres of trees

Fine. So we need three more like that, on this one base. It's a start. Now, when you can show me an electric fighter jet, I'll really be impressed.
