Whose Side is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce On?
Given its position on climate change, it does not seem that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is for the U.S. Navy’s sustainability drive, part of which involves a push to adopt sustainable biofuels for fighter jets. Ditto for the U.S. Air Force and biofuels. An all-out push for getting the U.S. military off fossil fuels is the key to future security, but don’t take my word for it, check out what the entire U.S. Department of Defense says about climate change. And if the Iraq Oil War wasn’t a wakeup call then perhaps this is: according to an article last week in the New York Times, China (yep, the one that buys a lot of oil) is expanding its naval defense to include Mideast oil ports for the first time ever. How nice it would be not to have to worry about all those overseas oil supplies so much — so how about getting on board, Chamber of Commerce? Image: Ten by The Truth About… on flickr.com.
