It might seem counterintuitive, but the U.S. military is on the forefront of eco innovations. Fort Hunter Liggett has solar panels and a trash-to-energy gasification facility, something they were able to pull off – since they’re located outside of state jurisdiction – after the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority tried and failed. The Naval Postgraduate School brings renewable energy luminaries from all over the nation for its Defense Energy Seminar Series. This week, they bring a local speaker. Jay Tulleyis energy manager at the U.S. Army Garrison Presidio of Monterey, which includes the Defense Language Institute. Since starting in 2010, Tulley has reduced the Presidio’s energy usage by 21 percent, saving more than $1.5 million. He’ll cover how and why energy efficiency is a smart public works and defense strategy.
