The Smog of war: U.S. Defense Dept. Takes little action over its pollution problem

Doug McIntyre discusses a Department of Defense report indicating that it is the largest energy consumer in the U.S. — and thus one of its biggest polluters. While its energy consumption is significant, the report shows minimal efforts toward reducing usage or transitioning to greener alternatives. Meanwhile, the department has a small task force for greening initiatives, but it lacks sufficient authority and resources, a factor that could exacerbate the problem unless decisive action is taken.
