- Berkana, on 04/28/2008, -0/+9It would be an even better thing if solar power, weeds, and algae can keep our armed forces from going to war for oil in the first place.
- Berkana, on 04/28/2008, -1/+5To be honest, nobody knows how successful any form of research will be until the research has been conducted. Nobody knew if nuclear power could be successful until we funded and stuck with the research that took the theories and made them practical. We've blown tens of billions of dollars on fusion research, and it's still "50 years off", and can't sustain a break-even generation rate for more than a few seconds. But we're still funding fusion research with far more money than we're funding research for improving wind and solar and other renewables that can start yielding power even with current technology, and find ourselves importing the best turbines from the Germans and the Danes and many of our solar thermal systems from the Spanish and the Israelis, even though the technologies for both were originally invented here.

- Frostek, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3I had to laugh when I saw the story "22 reasons to grow your own rocket " listed next to this one... Not the same kind of rocket though!
- youtellme8, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3It makes sense for armies to be the first to go green. Global climate change is, after all, a security issue.
- moonmonkey, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3who are you, General Patton?
- inactive, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2this isn't going to happen anytime soon, if ever. nobody really knows how successful alternative energy research will be until the research has been conducted.
- thcobbs, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Nahh.... Patton would have slapped him first.
- AlwaysAwake, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1The cost of research in the US, and many other countries, is supported in staggering proportion by the military. In this case, at least it has the possibility of benefiting the rest of us, instead of killing us.Not that that is their intention, mind you.
- thcobbs, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Everyone has been pointing out that our growth as a species IS unsustainable.
- xxTazxx, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1If its not oil, its going to be something else.
- bosssmiley, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Great, now if they could only stop using the MoD budget as a slush fund for BAE...
- beauley, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1In the News as one possible answer to our dependence on fossil fuels.
Millions of years supplying the Earth's needs...

Solar Power, Source of Endless Energy - inactive, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1f22 running off argae, I would like to see that.
- inactive, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1what's your point?
- MrHappyMan, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0A good deal of the worlds great technological advancements have come from the military and space programs. Maybe competition here will come up with something good for civilian use.
- kingofinternet, on 04/28/2008, -1/+0The Polish army already uses solar powered flash lights and night vision goggles.
- inactive, on 04/28/2008, -1/+0It's not hard when your army only has 107,730 soldiers
- evilJaze, on 04/28/2008, -2/+0I thought weed already fuelled the armed forces...
