Default Re: Air Force ranks No. 1 for renewable energy use

When I lived in Guam we had a mandatory water conservation go into effect right after a MAJOR typhoon (Katrina wasn't major compared to this one as far as wind speed goes) . Anyway, we were ordered not to take showers - we being the military members AND their families. I went as far as having evedrybody bath in water runoff from the roof of our house. The day after it went into effect I was driving by the golf course and the sprinklers were on!!!! I soon after lost my faith in some military officers and their command decisions.

On a more positive note, I did post here a few months ago that I saw some Marine recruiters driving a GOV (Gov plated) FEH. That was a positive sight, especially since I had minutes earlier left a Navy base and seen the Marine H1 recruiter tool.

'00 Insight "Wazabi" -75,000+ miles
'03 Toyota Matrix - 81,000+ miles
'03 HCH-CVT-OSBM-41,000+ miles (retired 04-10-06)
