A panel of interest to Belfer Center affiliates:
As America’s largest energy consumer, the Department of Defense (DoD) is not known for placing a high premium on energy efficiency and alternative sources of energy. However, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and new global threats have prompted the DoD to rethink its energy strategy. The DoD is now implementing aggressive energy-efficiency goals to reduce battlefield fuel demand and secure reliable, renewable energy supplies for combat and installation operations. With robust R&D capabilities, a large government allowance, and the ability to lead the security sector’s energy discussion, the DoD has the necessary tools to help advance energy innovation in the United States. Where does the military fall in the nation’s energy debate? What are the consequences of framing energy issues, research, and development in a security context? How are DoD investments assisting renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies? TEC 2013's energy security and DoD panel will explore the role of the U.S. military in today’s energy debate, discuss energy initiatives taking place within the DoD, and offer observations on military operations in support of energy security.
