3.Sense of Congress
on Department of Defense energy savings initiativesIt is the sense of Congress that—
(1)the Department of
Defense should develop, test, field, and maintain operationally effective
technologies that reduce the energy needs of forward-deployed forces;
(2)the Secretary of
Defense should ensure the energy security of Department of Defense
facilities;
(3)the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs and the Deputy
Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment should act in
concert to implement strategies and coordinate activities across the services
to meet Department-wide and service energy goals, including service initiatives
such as the Navy’s Great Green Fleet, the Air Force’s alternative fuel
certification program, the Army’s Net Zero installation pilot program, and the
Marine Corps experimental forward operating base project; and
(4)in general, the
Department of Defense should aggressively pursue opportunities to save energy,
reduce energy-related costs, decrease reliance on foreign oil, decrease the
energy-related logistics burden for deployed forces, ensure the long-term
sustainability of military installations, and strengthen United States energy
security.
4.
(a)The Secretary of
Defense may waive the implementation or operation of a provision of this Act or
an amendment made by this Act if the Secretary certifies to Congress that
implementation or continued operation of such provision would adversely impact
the national security of the United States.
(b)Intelligence
activity waiverThe Director
of National Intelligence may, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense,
exempt an intelligence activity of the United States, and related personnel,
resources, and facilities, from a provision of this Act or an amendment made by
this Act to the extent the Director and Secretary determine necessary to
protect intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure.

military installation that will use renewable energy sources, pursuit of energy
security means the installation will give favorable consideration to projects
that provide power directly into the installation electrical distribution
network. In such cases, this power should be prioritized to provide the power
necessary for critical assets on the installation in the event of a disruption
in the commercial
grid.</text>
