| Aimone said, "President Bush sent a letter to all agencies to conserve energy. We took this to heart and we became aware of the long-term issues. |
| We are not focused on cheaper prices for gas, but price stability, regularity for our budget cycle and for getting off the dependence of foreign oil. |
| We started doing detailed analysis' of our airplanes, including the basic premise of the fuel loading; the theoretics and the actuaries. And we started looking at homegrown fuels." |
|
Aimone went on to say that, "there was an executive order to decrease, by 30 percent, the use of energy by the military. That objective was met. |
| Most people don't know that the military's consumption of energy is only 2 percent of the nation's energy usage. Of that 2 percent, 50 percent is from the United States Air Force (USAF), with 80 percent of that coming from aviation fuel."
