This recent article in The Federal Times is a great prelude to next
Tuesday's Energy Conversation with Amory Lovins. Cutting DoD?s fuel addiction: The new plan
By TIM KAUFFMAN
March 03, 2008 Imagine: Air Force bombers and tankers up to 10 times more fuel efficient
than the heavy aircraft used today. Soldiers who generate energy from their
own motion instead of energy-sucking batteries to charge electronic field
gear. Buildings and facilities throughout the world operating entirely on
renewable energy. This is the bold vision laid out in a new report by the Defense Science
Board that aims to wean the Pentagon off its insatiable appetite for fossil
fuels and unreliable electricity sources.
continued...http://mlist.orchidsuites.net/lists/lt.php?id=NkoFBQ5VXQhSTVUCDRlSDgYDBQ%3D%3D Please join the Energy Conversation for a special presentation. Endurance, Resilience & the Defense Science Board Report The Defense Science Board (DSB) Energy Task Force Report will be briefed by
Task Force Member Amory Lovins at the March 11th Energy Conversation. Amory
Lovins, Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute, is a
thought leader, mission steward and strategist. He will offer his thoughts
on the report through the lens of two new strategic vectors - endurance and
resilience. Other meetups and groups:
