Why is Uncle Sam and the military going solar? The simple answer is that it can save big, big money. The United States military is by far the single largest buyer of energy in the world. Estimated U.S. spending on fuel per year is $20 billion. That’s a lot of greenbacks. The Department of Defense has 3 primary goals – create and preserver jobs, provide better care and improve energy efficiency. With the world price of fuel around $80 a barrel, keeping one soldier in Afghanistan costs hundreds of dollars a day in fuel alone. Solar power can make a massive dent in military costs in the area of buildings, equipment and heat generation.
Other reasons for the love affair with solar are that it can improve national security and there are federal mandates coming to become more efficient. Ok, so maybe federal mandates aren’t really a love affair, but it is certainly cause for Uncle Sam to get its act together and become more energy efficient.

Very cool infographic below on the Facebook demographics of North Africa. The strongest users tend to be males, and the country with the largest Facebook penetration is Tunisia. When you think of how groups of people can unite with similar ideas and goals, Facebook is one of the strongest weapons in these countries’ arsenals.
