Yesterday’s Washington Examiner<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn March, Gevo<\/a> entered into a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency<\/a> to supply the U.S. Army<\/a> with 3,650 gallons<\/a> of renewable jet fuel<\/a> to be delivered by the second quarter of 2013,\u201d Gevo announced<\/a> this week in its first quarter financial report. \u201cThis initial order may be increased by 12,500 gallons. All shipments will be at a fixed price of $59 per gallon during the initial testing phase. These shipments are in addition to the renewable jet fuel supplied to the U.S. Air Force<\/a> (USAF) and the U.S. Navy (USN<\/a>).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In plain English this means that the Defense Department<\/a> is paying $59 per gallon for renewable jet fuel when regular jet fuel costs $3.73 a gallon. Note that this is called a ‘testing phase.’ I need someone to explain to me why you would test anything that costs almost 20 times what you are already using. I fully support green energy<\/a>–but not until it is economically feasible. This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n
