“ We buy too much fossil fuel from … volatile places on earth. We buy our energy from people who may not be our friends.”
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, August 30, 2011
- For every 50 fuel convoys, one Marine is killed or wounded.
- A $1.00 increase in the price of a barrel of oil imposes a $30 million cost to the Navy.

Department of Navy’s Energy Goals
By 2020, 50% of total Department energy consumption will come from alternative sources.
By 2020, at least 50% of shore-based energy requirements will be met by alternative sources; 50% of Department installations will be net-zero.
By 2015, the Department will reduce petroleum use in vehicles by 50%.
The “Great Green Fleet”: By 2012, the Department will demonstrate a Green Strike Group in local operations and will sail it by 2016.
Evaluation of energy factors will be mandatory when awarding contracts for systems and buildings.

Departments of Navy, Energy, and Agriculture to partner with private industry to stimulate the domestic biofuels industry.
Navy will invest in and buy from alternative fuel refineries that meet given criteria:
Drop-in fuels meeting military specs
Commercial-scale
Competitively priced
Geographically diverse locations
No impact on food supply
$170 million per agency; at least 50% cost share with industry.
