Navy’s Solar Panel Project Proves Costly

For years the Department Of Defense has been discussing the need to turn to alternative, environmentally conscience energy sources in order to make the military more "green" and reduce its reliance on foreign sources of fossil fuels. Many also hoped it that increased military spending on green energy would help the young sector grow into a full and competitive industry. To accomplish this goal, the American Recovery And Reinvestment Act of 2009 made millions of federal government dollars available to military services for the acquisition of renewable energy sources.
