One thing is for sure. The military does not adopt change fast. But when it does change, the affected industries undergo a revolution. Ships, Airplanes, digital communications; now we are watching the latest revolution unfold in the energy field. There is no better proof of a technology than for it to be “battle tested”, and then improved in response to some of the worlds harshest operating conditions.<\/p>\n
The US Military has always used solar in remote locations, for keeping the batteries of self contained emergency systems topped off. Now we are seeing a paradigm shift, where the military is seriously pursuing solar and alternative fuel technologies to eliminate costly (and dangerous) supply chains, as was referenced in yesterday’s New York Times. I witnessed this first hand in Iraq as you can see in the above image.<\/p>\n
Renewable energy makes sense for reducing foreign dependence and environmental reasons. It also makes sense strategically.<\/p>\n
