Video Demonstrating Devices Reducing Petroleum Use
Military's efforts to Save Lives with Green Technology
1 in 8 army casualties in the war in Iraq was due to the protection of a fuel convoy. Soldiers on the front lines rely heavily on fossil fuels to carry out there missions. Transportation and Power generation provide the soldiers with the tools and capabilities they need to carry out there mission and have the best chance for returning home safely. Both of these require huge amounts of energy so technology developers are looking at new ways to reduce the amount of petroleum being used, which could hopefully in turn reduce the amount of casualties due to protection of fuel convoys. Marines are rapidly testing and developing new solar devices, influenced from the private sector, to reduce the required amount of fuel to conduct their missions.
