And the Navy is doing this why? Oil is at its lowest price in 40 years and they are burning green fuels.

I used to work across the street from the South San Francisco company that makes this biofuel and it costs $150 per gallon.

yes you read that correctly.

The company is named Solazyme and it is owned by big time donors to Obama.

the US Navy bought something like over 1 billion dollars of this bio fuel and word is that it screws engines up hugely.

Since we’re killing the planet, why have a Navy at all? /s

Did the USN boats captured by the Iranians run on veggie oil? Their diesel range is 300+ miles. The transit was 200 miles. The latest story out of the USN was they had to stop mid-way for refueling. Why? Or did the “organic green multi-fuel-plexi-adapter-adapter kit” malf again?

I am all for supporting efforts to keep the world clean. But you have to balance that with navy that is effective in delivering on their mission first. If these ships will be able to defend the US, be green, and cost effective, then it doesn’t bother eme.

But if the ship cannot keep up with the fleet because of the availability of bio fuel at a distance...then it’s a waste of money.

Because the 0bama regime hates the US Navy.
