Despite sequester, DOD signs contract for $59/gallon green jet fuel

Yeah, that’s $59/gallon for politically correct “green” fuel. Oddly, the order is for only 3,650 gallons; the order might be increased by 12,500 gallons. As far as the Army goes, that’s a drop in the bucket. Still, the article ends with the note that JP-8 av gas is $3.73 gallon.

I suppose there’s a place for funding alternate fuels, but fuels that cost more than 15 times normal fuel? Back to the drawing board.
