[Read slowly to Paul Ehrlich]: INHOFE QUESTIONS EXCESSIVE COST OF 'GREENING' MILITARY
“While I continue to support the development and use of all alternative fuels, I have grave concerns about the cost of ‘greening’ our military and the overall impact on our readiness,” said Inhofe in the letter. “It has been reported that the Navy spent $12 Million for 450,000 gallons of biofuel which equals approximately $27 a gallon. When added to an additional 450,000 gallons of traditional fuel, the cost per gallon is reduced to $15 a gallon, still over three times the cost of traditional fuel. Over the last three years we have seen the budget of the Navy drastically reduced, but yet the Navy can spend $13.5 Million on fuel that should have cost only $4.5 Million.”

'Grand Canyon' Beneath Antarctic Ice - Business Insider
A dramatic gash in the surface of the Earth that could rival the majesty of the Grand Canyon has been discovered secreted beneath Antarctica's vast, featureless ice sheet.

Dubbed the Ferrigno Rift for the glacier that fills it, the chasm's steep walls plunge nearly a mile down (1.5 kilometers) at its deepest. It is roughly 6 miles (10 km) across and at least 62 miles (100 km) long, possibly far longer if it extends into the sea.
