pv for the military [RE-wrenches]

[Graham Owen]

>From talking to a friend  (truly a rocket scientist) who works at JPL,
the military needs to utilize more solar power for numerous
applications.  From what I have been told, the military is focusing on
controlling space and is currently favoring micro-nuclear as opposed to
PV, for future satellite and terrestrial rover-type vehicle designs.
Solar power for remote stations, water purification, water heating,
communications, etc. needs to be packaged and presented to the military.
Perhaps Generals who understand and appreciate the many useful
properties of solar energy will be less likely to willingly plan
operations and risk lives to invade foreign counties for oil.

Please, don't do any military installs.
The last thing this world needs is a sustainable military. There are so
many much more deserving applications for PV to keep 
us all busy for a long time.
Dwindling fossil energy resources are going to be a cause of strife - 
lets work to reduce the need for fossil fuels, not help those that will 
fight over them.
