The article focuses on the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel needed by the U.S. military in Afghanistan in 2011. An average of one soldier for every 24 fuel convoys dies in the country while hauling oil. The Net Zero energy-efficiency program of the Army is aimed at making armed forces energy dependent. Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta was encouraged by caucus members to protect renewable-energy programs from budget cuts. |
