LtGen Castellaw: This is no time to back off clean energy
In an Op-ed in today’s Tennessean, ASP board member and President of the Crockett Policy Institute, LtGen John Castellaw USMC (Ret.) notes:
America’s national security and economic vitality are threatened by our dependence on fossil fuels. For the military, moving away from traditional energy sources is not about being “green,” it is about preventing any operational impact due to cost and availability of fossil fuels and the strategic need to secure fuel sources in unstable regions where our economy sends $1 billion a day to pay for oil.
Early Tennesseans crossed wild mountains and navigated perilous rivers to settle the valleys and plateaus of our state. Each generation since has seized opportunities to make the lives of the next generation better. Right now, we have that opportunity — to look to the future, not the past — to ensure our nation’s energy security and enrich our children’s lives.
