It probably has more to do with the fact that solar that far north is a non-starter. Any PV installed there will actually make AGW and carbon emissions worse, not better. Basically, the amount of carbon emitted due to manufacturing is greater than the carbon savings over the lifetime of the panel in those locations.

Even it that was true, why would the military concern itself with that, and why only for the coasts?
Solar is anti-cyclical with wind both daily and seasonally and an amazing resource during ~8 months of the year in Sweden.

I suggest you stop spreading misinformation.
