摘要

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack highlighted the Obama administration’s commitment to renewable energy on January 10 at the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument’s Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announcement, Pearl Harbor naval base was the first Hawaii military marine fleet to use biodiesel, replacing the Department of Navy-operated tour boats that shuttled visitors to and from the USS Arizona Memorial with five new boats capable of running on 100% biodiesel.
