Energy Conservation and Conversion: DoD's Progress to Date.

Abstract

The Department of Defense has achieved a reduction in total energy consumption since 1975 and has made good to excellent progress against eleven of its sixteen energy conservation and conversion goals. Weak to poor performance against the remaining five goals frequently reflects good management, since the costs of achieving these goals would have exceeded the benefits of doing so. When DoD progress is compared with that of the U.S. economy overall -- which is feasible for eleven of its conservation/conversion goals -- DoD performance appears better for five goals, similar for four, and worse for two. Keywords: Energy, Conservation, energy conversion
