DoD Strategy DoD (Dept of Defense is currently briefing congress on the New Operational Energy Strategy as I post this. You can even tune in at www.federalnewsradio.com if you wish. This Strategy is something that will be applied to all Dept of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force). It talks about current energy needs of the force and the need to identify future needs and reduction through conservation and technology. Much of it is focused on green technology.
This is an exerpt from the Navy Energy Strategy 2010 through 2020 which is part of the DoD Energy Strategy. "The Navy Energy Strategy will guide a strong portfolio of investments in people, technology, and programs across Navy enterprises. In the near-term, the Navy will make significant gains by adjusting policies to enable more energy efficient operations, encouraging awareness and energy-conscious behavior in every Navy setting, optimizing existing technologies to reduce energy consumption, and speeding the implementation of new technologies, all with the intent of enhancing or enabling greater combat readiness."

For me Green Technology is the future. Ultimately the removal of carbon fuels all together is ideal, but that is many years off and DoD recognizes that and is willing to take immediate measures to reduce cost and emissions.
