The document discusses the US Department of Defense's and Navy's goals and efforts to increase their use of renewable and alternative energy sources in order to improve energy security and reduce dependence on petroleum. Some key goals include having 50% of total energy consumption from alternative sources by 2020 and demonstrating a "Great Green Fleet" that relies on biofuel by 2016. The Navy has implemented various renewable energy pilot projects and installations using technologies like solar, wind, geothermal, and wave/tidal power.

2. Our Leadership “… the Pentagon isn’t seeking these alternative fuels just to protect our environment; they’re pursuing these homegrown energy sources to protect our national security .” –President Barack Obama “… in the end, it is a matter of energy independence and it is a matter of national security .” –Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus

3. U.S. Petroleum Consumption 33% DON (34% of DoD) Tactical Energy Consumption Shore 57% 25% Overall Energy Consumption Overall Energy Sources 26% 16% 1% Petroleum Electricity, Natural Gas, Other Nuclear Renewables Energy Consumption Navy Petroleum Consumption in Perspective U.S. Government (2% of U.S.) 75% 40% Aviation 38% Maritime Department of Defense (93% of US.)
