U.S. Navy's Biofuels Program Remains Controversial

Frequent commenter Tim Kingston sent me this piece: U.S. Air Force Report to Congress Bashes Navy’s Biofuels Program and notes:

Interesting commentary from Robert Rapier on a new report written by a navy captain absolutely savaging the navy’s Green Fleet program in particular and biofuels in general.

Thanks, Tim.  Yes, Robert’s a good guy; I’ve enjoyed our conversations through the years — and this is a hot issue.  That these people presume to tell the U.S. Navy how it should be planning to defend our country 30 years hence I find sadly comical.  Yet there is nothing even remotely funny about the  fact that the leading Congressional opponent to the Navy’s effort was elected almost exclusively with money from the oil companies.   

Thanks for the note.
