Obama's Defense department still wasting money on alternative fuels despite the abundance of oil

Washington Free Beacon:

Defense Department Pays $29 Per Gallon for ‘Alternative Fuel’

Despite budget cuts and troop reductions, Pentagon will up use of expensive green energy

This is a wasteful indulgence of Big Green at a time when there is no shortage of traditional fuels and none expected anytime during the lifetime of those currently in the military.   The policy stems from the perceived scarcity of fossil fuels a decade ago.  But we have gone from scarcity to glut and the supply of fossil fuels is adequate for at least a 100 years if not more.  This is a boondoggle bigger than high priced hammers.
