yes, Sharia Savage, they should use http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NP6Dqxhk19k/VXrbOeyfprI/AAAAAAAAClA/Gzmbmlw0aEk/s1600/jason%2Bbuffalo%2Bwild%2Bwings%2Bstraw.PNGto propel the ships

Wiki says that the #1 consumer of fossil fuels is China.

The Great Green Fleet (GGF) is a year-long, Department of the Navy initiative that demonstrates the sea service’s efforts to transform its energy use. As one of the Secretary of the Navy’s key energy goals, the purpose of the GGF is to make our Sailors and Marines better warfighters, able to go farther, stay longer and deliver more firepower. Secretary Mabus chose the name Great Green Fleet to honor President Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet, which helped usher in America as a global power on the world stage at the beginning of the 20th Century. The GGF will usher in the next era of Dept. of Navy energy innovation.
The centerpiece of the Great Green Fleet is a Carrier Strike Group (CSG) that deploys on alternative fuels, including nuclear power for the carrier and a blend of advanced biofuel made from beef fat and traditional petroleum for its escort ships. These biofuels have been procured by DON at prices that are on par with conventional fuels, as required by law, and are certified as “drop-in” replacements that require no engine modifications or changes to operational procedures. The CSG also uses energy efficient technologies and operating procedures referred to as Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) during the course of its normal operations.
Throughout 2016, other Dept. of Navy platforms including ships, aircraft, amphibious and expeditionary forces, as well as shore installations, will participate in the GGF by using energy efficient systems, operational procedures, and/or alternative fuel during the course of planned mission functions worldwide.
Ashore, DON installations have in procurement 1.1 gigawatts of renewable energy – or about one-half of overall DON power requirements as of January 2016. Renewable energy projects at our facilities can help increase resiliency by enabling them to continue operations in the event of a commercial grid disruption.

But interesting. I'm all about occasionally trying to make a BB thread interesting.
I fact checked (as I'm wont to do) your thread about Sanders only introducing 3 bills the other day. But my eyes rolled too far across the table to post the facts.

I also found this interesting:
A total of 4,279 people abandoned U.S. citizenship or green cards in 2015, beating the previous record of 3,415 in 2014, according to data released recently by the agency.

KEEPING AMERICA SAFE, OBAMA EDITION: Pentagon Orders Commanders to Prioritize Climate Change in All Military Actions.
The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies. . . .
The directive, “Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience,” is in line with President Obama’s view that global warming is the country’s foremost national security threat, or close to it.
. . .
Climate change must be integrated in:
• Weapons buying and testing “across the life cycle of weapons systems, platforms and equipment.”
• Training ranges and capabilities.
• Defense intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance.
• Defense education and training.
• Combatant commander joint training with allies to “assess the risks to U.S. security interests posed by climate change.”
• Joint Chiefs of Staff collaboration “with allies and partners to optimize joint exercises and war games including factors contributing to geopolitical and socioeconomic instability.”
Yes, this makes sense. I can see why the President of the United States would direct our military to prioritize climate change, since all those military exercises, training, weapons tests, humvees and other military vehicles–not to mention actual weapons use–add to our carbon footprint, maybe as much as Air Force One or Obama’s limousine-and-SUV motorcade.
I mean, really, since climate change is a bigger threat than radical Islamic terrorism, we probably ought to just eliminate the military entirely. And the President should use a bicycle or sailboat to travel. The safety of the planet depends on it!

Obviously this militant insanity won’t help us win wars, but liberals don’t like winning wars, since according to their dogma America is always the bad guy. The important thing is that the flourishing man-eating polar bears know we put their alleged interests first. - http://www.moonbattery.com/commander_obama.jpg

Maybe if we admitted that China and India are kicking our ass on Glow Ball Warming by putting out way more CO2 in than we have in the last decade that we have lost that war and now we can sue for peace in our time....
