Modern history tells us that few momentous changes in basic technologies occur without pushing and pulling between the nation’s industrial base and its military.

The B52 jet bomber was designed and built for the military in the 1950s, and that taught the commercial aviation industry how to build jet planes. Today, all commercial jetliners are based on that government-funded research.

Are industry and the military in the same situation today with renewable and fossil fuels?

The U.S. military is the largest consumer of fossil fuels in the world, spending more than $20 billion a year. The Air Force's fuel bill alone, for just one year, is a staggering $9 billion. Operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have pushed oil use up from 50 million gallons a year to 500 million gallons. 

Some 60 percent of the fuel used by the armed forces—ranging from planes, ships and tanks to heating and cooling—comes from foreign sources. Thus, in addition to cost implications, the military’s consumption of fossil fuels amounts to a strategic risk that could undermine the stability of the broader national security.

What is the military doing to reduce fuel consumption and dependence on foreign fuels, and are alternative fuels going to be an essential part of the plan? The answer is yes, but the issues are complex and the questions far-ranging. How they are addressed will involve the combined efforts of the government and every branch of the military.

The Energy Daily's newest interactive webinar will delve into this provocative subject.

• Technically, alternative fuel technologies are at hand or will be soon, but what are the practical applications for the military and commerical uses? What are the real costs?

• What are the political considerations of the military's use of alternative fuels? Will policymakers agree to widespread use of fuels other than diesel, gasoline and jet fuel if that means abandoning a seemingly reliable, if costly, fossil fuel status quo? 

• What government and military decisions about alternative fuels are needed to drive commercial industries: airlines, aircraft and marine engine manufacturers, auto and heavy equipment engine manufacturers, electricity generation and energy efficient machinery?

• And much more! Including your questions to the speakers.

You can view it at your desk or gather around a speakerphone in a conference room - no travel required! Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the program and the materials for six months.
