Story Number: NNS110629-02

First of all, the Naval Amphibious base Coronado. It’s so much into Energy efficient commodities. For example and such as solar powered street lamps and training classrooms that use green energy. Those are some of the main draws for the Navy Energy Program!

Navy Energy Program 080415-N-0100I-016 SAN DIEGO (April 15, 2008) Four new solar carports at Naval Base San Diego will provide approximately 155,000 kilowatts per year, producing enough energy to power approximately 27 homes at today's average consumption. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest owned and maintained solar carports will replace power normally purchased from off-base suppliers and will reduce the cost of power to the region and tenants at the bases over time.

The California energy commission came and visited the Navy and discuss energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities in the state of California. As well as have an opportunity to show up close the Navy’s projects and installations. These comments were from Bernie Lindsey, Navy Region Southwest utilities & energy program manager.

In addition and of interest to the group were the Navy’s photovoltaic systems. All that convert heat from the sun into electricity. So solar panels located on top of streetlights and long-term parking.

The Navy and the state of California have been working together for many years to help develop and implement green technologies throughout its shore facilities within the state.

So the Navy continues to implement renewable energy in its existing facilities. However it is also looking into the future as new projects begin construction.

Both the state of California and the Navy have been very dedicated to integrating renewable energy systems wherever it is possible. Many existing programs and utilities were developed in California.

Because of their similar interest in renewable energy technologies, the partnership between the Navy and the state of California is one that will continue to grow stronger as both parties strive to alleviate dependency on less efficient energy sources.

The Navy is partnering with state agencies around the country to reduce its energy usage and increase its renewable and green energy production. That’s also both at sea and at shore-based facilities.

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
