A Plug For Navy Power - Beat Air Force

Blowing in the wind

A recent U.S. Navy post highlighted the dependance of naval power on innovation, listing the progression from sail power, to coal power, to oil power, to nuclear, and now renewable energy - it is a nice advertisement narrated by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. Another advertisement of Naval power, this time Navy Football, showed up on a Facebook posting that a company mate of my son posted. It is a nice blend of a contemporary technology platform with making the point that Naval Academy Football has dominated the Air Force Academy for more than a decade. It seems that the iPhone Siri feature has been co-opted for a rival academy Spirit Spot.

GO NAVY - BEAT AIR FORCE!

Note - September 30, 2014: The media fall-out on advanced biofuel opponents has begun from the success from the Phase 2 of the Defense Production Act (DPA) supported by Navy, Energy, and Agriculture Departments. See the CleanTechnica report here. A good exposition of the DPA effort is given in Biobased Digest here. Another sign of institutionalization of an industry is when the debate is no longer about the value of advanced biofuels and whether the emissions off-sets are of value, but concerns about whether their manufacture will cause air pollution.

Navy leads the way in power.
