Largest U.S. Oil Consumer looking for alternate fuels

With fuel prices soaring, the U.S. military, the country's largest single consumer of oil, is turning into an alternative-fuels pioneer.
"The U.S. military consumes 340,000 barrels of oil a day, or 1.5% of all of the oil used in the country. U.S. forces in Iraq alone consume 40,000 barrels of oil a day."
