Brutus and the Gray Lady: ExFOB Makes the NYT

Excellent piece by Annie Snider of Greenwire, picked up by New York Times. COL "Brutus" Charette running another iteration of the Experimental Forward Operating Base (ExFOB) at 29 Palms in Death Valley. Focus is on high efficiency solar and exportable vehicle power. I asked Annie to send me a photo of her "enjoying" the 110+ temperatures of 29 Stumps. Got an Israeli deployable solar station instead. Worth the read. Dan Nolan
