Donald Fournier: Oil Depletion and the US Army (Transcript)

Global Public Media – David Room: Hello, Don. Could you please tell me about the report you co-authored, “Energy Trends and Implications for the U.S. Army Installations”?

Don Fournier: The intent of this report was just to gather and summarize the energy issues and options. The intended audience was the folks who run the military bases for the U.S. Army. We had done an earlier report which we called “Candidate Army Energy and Water Management Strategy,” and the work that’s in this Energy Trends report was really based on a White Paper that we had done previous to the “Candidate Strategy” report, and when we finished that we thought we ought to go ahead and publish the information in the White Paper in a more formal manner, with the idea being of helping inform the Army management structure about these issues, and to put on paper why we think it’s so important to move on with a highly effective energy management program for the U.S. Army.
