The silent gorilla in the room might well have been the realization that our military is currently getting chewed up in a long term war that might never have been started except that some in our Administration wanted oil that belonged to others.

Or at least wanted to minimize the chances that other people might restrict the sale of their oil in ways that would harm us.

The military people whom I know really like the idea of not having to fight wars. They’ll go if needed. But they would prefer we find a workable solution other than putting them in the line of fire.

I suspect most of our solders would prefer we drive electric cars fueled from wind farms than they drive Hummers over IEDs.

Just guessin’….

Dayton, Ohio, does this,generating enough electricity to power their wastewater facilities and more. A city in the Netherlands does the equivalent, in that case cleaning some biogasse to biomethone for a CNG vehicle filling station down by the docks. San Diego, CA, does much the same, with the biomethane going into the natural gas pipelines.
