 Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Thomas Hicks visits Fleet Activities Yacowska's green energy projects. It's been great just to see the mission of the base and to see how energy plays a role in that. One of his stops is at the cogeneration power plant, which captures waste heat and emissions and turns it into power. Well, I think the benefits are pretty clear. I mean, you're saving money, they're saving, as I understand, about five million dollars a year relative to where they were before. They're doing it by providing cleaner energy, which is important for the community here as well as the surrounding community. Projects like the co-gen plant and solar panel installations provide the base with clean, reliable energy, making it more energy independent. Mr. Hicks is visiting several installations in Japan to engage regional commanders about energy initiatives and energy security. Petty Officer Chris Henry, Yacowska Naval Base, Japan.
