The new warnings focus less on climate change and more on the immediate risks associated with powering the largest military in the world—and the nation it protects—with an imported, non-renewable commodity.UK Hosting Reviews

Holy smokes, that earlier poster was right. I looked up Raser Technologies. Their website is rasertech.com. Their website has a link to a video of their appearance on CNBC where the announcers interviewed the Chairman.

It sounds really odd rolling off the tongue, but these people actually developed a plug-in electric hybrid Hummer H3 that gets up to 100 miles per gallon.

It turns out the company also makes geothermal energy power plants, so they've developed ways to efficiently produce energy and to power the large vehicles that we actually want to buy.

Sweeet.

“Efficiency on the Battlefield” so now it is going to be fine to have wars because now we are going to be efficient.

I'm glad this day may finally come. I was on one of the first deployments the Marines made after switching from 30 mpg, 4 person Jeeps to the 10 mpg 5 person HMMWV (Hummer) and was appalled that some moron actually thought they were equivalent.
The Hummers were awkward to manipulate. The only saving grace regarding fuel was that their introduction meant that we only had to handle diesel which ships were filled with for aircraft and their own engines. Ashore, it meant a whole lot more trucks to handle the fuel.
Fuel economy is important, whether you are driving to work or fighting a war.

Quit skirting the obvious solution, if they’re serious, a simple phone call to Raser technologies will provide an already researched and an already built solution to the armed services concerns about fuel efficient hybrid trucks and Hummers.

I really think that this is GREAT! at least they are trying. But can’t wait for this to be done.
