During the Iraq war and what we're still doing in Afgahnistan the US has spent over $400/gallon to transport fuel to bases. The Pentagon already acknowledges this is not sustainable. In Iraq they adopted soar and wind power for bases to reduce fuel consumption and learned to become so efficient that at times some bases were supplying free electricity to locals. The DOD has also invested in private biofuel companies with the intent of eventually being able to grow fuel for combustion on their bases. The wiser long term strategy the defense establishment is taking isn't just stockpiling weapons for a resource war, but learning how to innovate so they won't even need to fight over those resources.
