Department of Defense Energy Security Act press conference
Today, U.S. Senator Mark Udall formally unveiled the updated Department of Defense Energy Security Act of 2011, aimed at helping the military shore up one of its greatest vulnerabilities: its reliance on fossil fuel. Udall developed the bill in partnership with the office of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (AZ) to help reduce DOD fossil fuel consumption and advance its efforts to develop smart-grid technology, saving lives and billions of taxpayer dollars.
