Among the initiatives is a competition to spur discoveries and a goal of generating enough renewable energy on military bases by 2025 to equal the output of three nuclear plants, according to administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment ahead of the announcement. The Pentagon previously has said it intends to meet one-quarter of its energy needs from renewable sources by then.
Yeah, OR...it could just go ahead and build 3 nuclear plants and be CERTAIN to have the energy needed. Instead, this is more money to be used to fund Obama's liberal buddies like Solyndra. Did you catch this gem from the article:
Acknowledging the need to control federal spending, officials said meeting the goal would require billions in private sector financing.
And then in the next line:
Officials said the Energy Department would fund a $30 million research competition...
Waste o' money, my friend.
Believe me, if there is an action that'll make our military stronger, OBAMA will not participate.
If you really think we will be going backward with technology and weakened capabilities you are sadly mistaken.
