The New York Times reports that Sec. of the Navy Ray Mabus made a strong commitment to renewable energy at a recent speech. Speaking at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, Sec. Mabus announced that the Navy will meet 50% of its energy needs with renewable energy “within 10 years.” The Secretary reportedly sees fossil-based energy as a vulnerability of the Navy and Marine Corps, and hopes that utilizing renewables will make the Navy’s and Marine Corps.’ energy supply less susceptible to disruption. |
What makes the Navy confident that they can meet this goal? According to The New York Times, Sec. Maybus said, “If we provide the market, then I think you’ll begin to see the infrastructure being built.” We’re excited to see how things progress.
