The 2007 National Defense Authorization Act tasked the military to produce or procure 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025, and the Obama administration has identified energy as the center of its vision for America’s economic future. The Departments of Energy and Agriculture and the Navy have partnered to invest in developing and testing biofuels to create an industry that can produce enough affordable biofuel to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil along with the Service’s vulnerability to price shocks. But exploration of the military application and feasibility of biofuels indicate that they will not be cost competitive or available in necessary quantities and will put Service members at greater risk rather than improve energy security
