Changes in world energy availability

(Slide 6) The World is changing: Petroleum based fuels (the result of solar energy accumulated over millions of years) will soon be scarce and will eventually become depleted. The cost of energy (in all forms) will continue to rise.

The Marine Corps is changing: Future Expeditionary Warfare concepts will require enhanced energy efficiency (fuel and electric) as well as enhanced self-sufficiency to operate as a distributed force over long distances in austere environments
