If we can't stop them, why not make them eco friendly?

Dear bloggers,

Although this idea is not a real innovation (since it was on television in 2008), I still think it’s worth mentioning in a blog about green innovations! “How can we make the war more eco friendly?”, a rather unconvenient question, but if you think it through, it’s right on! 

We all like to live in a peaceful world, but that’s not so easy as it may seem. So, if wars can not be avoided, can’t we at least make them more eco friendly? This question (in This video) was brought forward by the “Onion”, a United States-based parody newspaper, published weekly. Although they just want to mock the Americans and their government, I think it may not be such a bad idea to really think this through. The tanks, trucks and jeeps could perhaps run on solar energy? The amount of fuel that’s used for all those vehicles is enormous, so why not try to cut back on that? Or all the radar systems for instance, can’t we incorporate some solar panels?

What do you think about this idea? Do you think it’s rubbish? Or do you agree with me in saying this might have some opportunities? 

Good night to you all :)
