Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has identified energy as a key vulnerability and has made substantial moves to improve its energy profile in the last decade, including establishing a new Assistant Secretary of Defense position for Operational Energy Plans and Programs and integrating energy considerations into its large and complex acquisition process. As part of this process, each military service and the DoD as a whole have issued documents outlining strategic goals and objectives relative to energy. In addition, the Congress and both the Bush and Obama administrations have issued relevant strategic guidance. The strategic guidance conveys the importance and urgency of changing DoD s energy profile. The documents specify a wide range of objectives, which only partially overlap. Moreover, although some terms (e.g., energy security) occur frequently, they are defined in many distinct ways. This points to a need for specific efforts to operationalize the strategic guidance so that DoD decision makers at all levels can implement it effectively. In this report, we analyze strategy and policy documents from DoD and related organizations, in order to determine an appropriate framework of objectives for energy decisions. We identify and explicitly define a comprehensive set of common objectives and note the language in each document that expresses the pursuit of each objective. This set of objectives and associated definitions clarifies relationships among the strategic documents, and is intended to help communication horizontally (e.g., across services) and vertically, across hierarchical levels. In addition, the objectives we define suggest possible metrics that may be measurable and comparable across services, and may be possible to aggregate across organizational levels"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The DoD consumes about 60% of all energy used at federal government facilities. To encourage an increased use of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, (1) DoD must consume at least 3% of its total electricity from renewable resources starting in FY 2007; (2) An amount equal to half of the statutorily required renewable energy be generated by sources placed into service in 1999 or later; and (3) At least 25% of electricity consumed by DoD come from renewable sources in FY 2025. This report examined: (1) DoD's progress toward these three key goals for consuming renewable energy in FY 2007 and 2008; (2) challenges to DoD meeting those goals; and (3) DoD's plans to meet the goals. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, Congress began mandating reductions in energy consumed by fed. agencies; primarily by improving building efficiency, and reducing fossil fuel use. Early legislation mandated a 10% reduction in fed. building energy and a recent Exec. Order mandates a 30% further reduction by 2015. This report reviews energy conservation legislation and Exec. Orders that apply to the DoD.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) consumes about 60 percent of all energy used at federal government facilities. To encourage an increased use of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, (1) the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the 2005 Act) directs DoD to consume at least 3 percent of its total electricity from renewable resources starting in fiscal year 2007; (2) Executive Order 13423 (the 2007 Executive Order) directs that an amount equal to half of the statutorily required renewable energy be generated by sources placed into service in 1999 or later; and (3) the 2007 Defense Authorization Act directed that at least 25 percent of electricity consumed by DoD come from renewable sources in fiscal year 2025. GAO was asked to examine the following: (1) DoD's progress toward these three key goals for consuming renewable energy in fiscal years 2007 and 2008, (2) challenges to DoD meeting those goals, and (3) DoD's plans to meet the goals. GAO reviewed relevant laws and DoD and Department of Energy (DOE) policy, plans, and data; interviewed agency officials; and visited DoD facilities. GAO makes 5 recommendations to DoD, including that DoD accurately report progress toward the goals and develop a long-term, DoD-wide plan to address challenges and meet goals. DoD concurred with 4 recommendations and partially concurred with 1, agreeing with its intent but stating that it is a service responsibility.

Book excerpt: "The energy crisis of the 1970s brought an abrupt halt to the euphoric age of relatively cheap and abundant energy for the United States (US). Energy availability became a national security issue prompting a concerted national campaign to achieve energy independence and assure energy availability. As the Federal agency responsible for assuring national security and the largest consumer of energy in the Federal government, DOD developed an energy strategy focused on assuring energy independence and availability while fulfilling Federal energy goals. This research addressed the ability of the DOD's installation sustainable energy strategy to achieve Federal energy goals while supporting the nation's energy independence and availability efforts. An examination of the US energy situation from 1970-2015, a thorough literature review, and an analysis of DOD's current installation energy strategy revealed that DOD has only made satisfactory progress in 3 of 5 Federal energy goals. Despite significant improvements in reducing energy demands, increasing energy supply through renewable sources, and adapting the future force, DOD will remain deficient in achieving Federal energy goals unless the political, economic, and cultural risk factors impeding strategy implementation are addressed."--Abstract.
