She explains her stance very well. Even if you’re not interested in being “eco friendly” it still remains a matter of national security and planning.

I have been waiting for this to be said, it is a critical issue regardless of what you think of it. Nobody gets to put their head in the sand. @usnavalwarcollege I really appreciate you putting these up, please continue

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΤριπόντικας]

BZ for being more than proactive in an issue that defines our future!

They say there are no stupid questions, but "Why don't you study hypersonic missiles instead" comes pretty close. Especially when the asker doesn't know what they are.

The following doesn't add to the substance of the lecture, but I think it's interesting and the areas overlap a bit with this talk. I once heard a lecture about global warming by John Deutch, former director of the CIA. It was aimed at an audience of physicists. It was sery interesting. What stuck with me was how huge the error bars were at the time. I'm sure they have narrowed enormously since then. In the question period, someone asked how an engineer became head of the CIA. Deutch's answer was that the government brought him in to figure out why experimental particle physics was getting so expensive and what might be done about it. That brought him into government, and got him on the path to leading the CIA.

I had read that DARPA has been working on biofuels to replace JP5. Is that an ongoing effort? Is any consideration being giving to developing more nuclear powered surface combatants beyond just the CVNs as a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels?

Watching this in 2024, after the election, the question at 47.40 about human created climate change skepticism is prescient. With the election of Trump the second time, denial went from a problem to a devastating policy.

I wonder if she has noticed that, over the last 500 million years, there is almost no correlation between co2 and global temperature, or that as we come out of the Little Ice Age, warming is slowing.

Your name shall be forgotten, but whilst it is still remembered, soon you shall be known as a fool too steadfast in his own ego to see how our world is being threatened by climate change.

Maybe you’re right but I’d rather not risk it. They less we pollute, the less risk there is for our planet to change to something we would be less adapted too

[@michaeljaffrey7958]

​@@benedictash1358 Well argued.
