what do y'all doing about
well one of the things that we've identified as one of our boat abilities
is we rely too much on fossil fuels and particularly foreign sources of fossil
fuels we buy a too much balling gas from either actually or potentially volatile
places on earth
and we're beginning to move away from that uh... have established goals five
goals in the navy for energy usage the broadest of which is that by no later
than twenty twenty at least half of all
energy use by the navy both afloat and assure will come from non fossil fuel
sources
yesterday and where are we making a lot of progress on that on the senate son as
nuclear you connect there probably we do start out with seventeen percent nuclear

uh... just as a as a small aside while the patents that uh... the office of
naval research just got
was to mix organic waste and sea water to make energy
