Reenergizing America's Defense
Reenergizing America's
Defense (PDF) details steps the armed forces are
taking to address their energy use and carbon emissions.
Energy, the environment, the economy and security are
inextricably linked. That is why the Department of Defense and
the military services are stepping forward not only to understand
these challenges, but also to demonstrate leadership in
responding to them. As the largest government user of
energy, the department has a keen appreciation of the ways energy
innovation can enhance operational effectiveness, bolster
national competitiveness and increase energy security, all while
saving lives and money and reducing the U.S. carbon boot
print.
The Pew Project on National Security, Energy and Climate
initiated this report to catalog current DoD efforts to develop
and deploy clean energy technologies and to reduce carbon
emissions. Our examination finds that the U.S. military is
clearly working to address the twin threats of energy dependence
and climate change.
Take Action: Tell Congress to ensure the future of America's
clean energy economy.
