We all know that energy consumption per capita in the U.S. is amongst the highest in the world. How much is the per capita consumption in the Department of Defense? 25 per cent more than the U.S. average.

A US Department of Defense energy strategy mentions peak oil, but doesn’t go into details.

The views of the oil industry on Peak Oil are divided, ranging from a non-event to getting there fast. Here I try to give the opinions of oil company executives about Peak Oil and related issues.

Concerns about energy security have made their way to the agenda of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). But to ensure energy security we are now risking global security.

The U.S. military is the single largest consumer of energy in the world. But as a wise man once said, don’t confuse facts with reality. The reality is that even U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) does not know precisely where and how much energy it consumes.

The Pentagon runs on oil. Since the so-called Global War on Terror has started more than half of US military oil consumption has been occurring outside continental US.
