To name just a few, last year’s Indy 500 showcased a new Army diesel-electric vehicle, and the Army is also tricking out Abrams tanks with fuel cells to cut down on fossil fuel […]

It is for strategic reasons. NOT for green reasons. NOT for clean reasons. NOT for global warming reasons. It’s done because God screwed up and put our oil under middle eastern countries. So we’ll be fighting war after war in order to get at it. Better to fight such a war when you are not so reliant on that oil.

Why any country would continue to rely upon a source of energy that is controlled by others is beyond me.
