Vice President Kamala Harris made a joke about green electricity during her commencement speech at the U.S. "Just ask any Marine today, would she rather carry 20 pounds of batteries or a rolled up solar panel, and I am positive she will tell you a solar panel, and so would he," she said, before laughing. It came after she told electrical engineering graduates that they would be responsible for converting wind and solar energy into "combat power." "You are electrical engineers who will soon help convert solar and wind energy into power, convert solar and wind energy into combat power," she said. Servicemen and women currently rely on high-tech lithium-ion batteries to power weapons, sensors and other devices during night operations.
