Thanks to Wired's Danger Zone for this short note. Our blog has pondered the energy demand dynamics of DOD's increasing love affair with drones many times (see here and here for example).
But this certainly adds a new twist. It's not a renewable source of course, and it sure ain't clean. But if we had to use it, having the ability to run on coal-derived JP8 is good insurance ... and mission assurance.
And while we're at it: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families from your friends the DOD Energy Blog.
