Green energy: saving the earth, but destroying human lives

The US Navy and Marines are undergoing an initiative to use renewable energy for all their operations.  Already, one of the Navy’s fighter jets broke the sound barrier running off of biofuels, and the Marines are conducting tests to make a base run efficiently without any fossil fuel. It’s admirable that they are researching into alternative energy sources, and hopefully the technologies become mainstream  (like the GPS), but it is also disheartening to know that these advancements are being used to power war-fighting ships, planes, vehicles.
