Interesting - necessity and invention have been close friends in the military, and have brought us many of the technologies that we depend on in our civilian lives. The vulnerability of the oil-based supply chain is becoming increasingly apparent, and the US Military is beginning to respond.

This may be exactly the kind of shove that the green technology movement needs - a huge money source, quick (forced) adoption, and rapid testing in difficult conditions. What a great opportunity!
