Quote of the day on the U.S. Navy’s program to use biofuels and renewable energy to power the fleet:

So if it’s impractical, why move forward with such a sweeping plan? Energy security, military officials said. By 2016, Rear Adm. Philip Cullom, director of the Navy’s fleet readiness division, imagines a green strike fleet with Naval aircraft powered solely with biofuels. “We know we can’t make the market,” he said, “but we can be an early adopter.”

Rest assured that as America kills her enemies, we are thinking of the greater good of the planet.
