Warming
According to professor Terry Deibel (writer of Foreign Affairs Strategy:
Logic for American Statecraft) warming is an existential risk. He makes the claim that we have finally found a major threat to American security and prosperity that is of a nonviolent nature and that it demands Urgent action. We are at a point in time where it is virtually impossible to find evidence that disagrees on the fundamentals of global warming. Deibel continued to mention that the earths warming climate is estimated to contribute to more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million illnesses each year. We are currently experience the effects of a 1-2 degree warming in more violent storms and spread of disease along with mass deaths in plants and animals, species extinction and threatened inundation of low lying coutnries. He even made the comparison that Global warming is the post-Cold War era's equivalent of nuclear winder and that It puts dangers from terrorism and military challenges to shame. This is a threat not only to the United States but to the continued existence of the life on this planet.
Warming can be directly related linked to two causes
Oil and Car DependenceA study by the global auto industry reports that the worlds light duty vehicles emitted .8 billion tons of CO2 in 2000 which is one-eight of the global emissions. It is predicted that emissions will double by 2050, making us responsible for one-fourth of the global emissions

Military Oil UsageMilitarism is thought to be the most oil exhaustive activity on the planet. We search for faster bigger and intern more fuel consuming war machines to respond to more intensive air and ground wars. Patricia Hynes (Professor of Environmental Health at Boston University) claims that the single largest institutional polluter and contributor to global warming is the US Military and that they ignore climate change concerns.

How to stop warming in its tracks!
Up until recently, we were unable to stop out mass consumption and imports of oil. By replacing our poorly constructed highways and shameful power grid with Solar Roadways we create the capabilities to support recharging stations for electric vehicles. This intern removes the need for combustion engines. The main statement on electric cars has always been that they are never practical due to the fact that they have to constantly be recharged and we never had the capabilities or infrastructure to do that until just now. Solar Roadways allows for easy implementation of recharge stations at local rest stops or even businesses. Scott Brusaw (The creator and founder of Solar Roadways) states that engineers are investigating ways to use mutual induction to charge electric vehicles while they are driving! This is the closest and best solution to local US oil and combustion engine dependence!
Military could also use the panels to provide clean green energy that would intern stop our mass military oil usage. Brusaw also provided a simple solution to Military oil usage and emissions. He gave the following scenario to explain the best tactical use for the panels:
"Imagine being able to put “eyes and ears” on the ground anywhere in the world without putting human lives in danger. Drop a Solar Road Panel into the hills of Afghanistan via parachute. The parachute detaches upon impact and is retracted beneath the panel. Camera modules open and aim in every direction. A satellite dish configures itself for communications to anywhere in the world. Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina control the direction of the infrared cameras and watch the images on their computer screens and call in strikes when needed. Unlike a conventional generator, the Solar Road Panel makes no noise and leaves no thermal footprint for the enemy combatants to detect. No refueling is ever needed, keeping our troops out of harm’s way. Anywhere in the world, entire bases can be built upon Solar Road Panels.Power is automatically provided with no need for generators, which would require constant refueling. When the operation is over, the Solar Road Panels are loaded back up and deployed elsewhere."
