00:00.501 --> 00:04.001
(upbeat electronic music)

00:05.150 --> 00:07.350
- President Barack Obama
highlighted the Navy's effort

00:07.350 --> 00:09.730
to purchase one gigawatt
of new, renewable energy

00:09.730 --> 00:10.830
for its installations,

00:10.830 --> 00:13.607
during his State of the
Union Address January 24th.

00:13.607 --> 00:17.150
- I'm directing my administration
to allow the development

00:17.150 --> 00:19.520
of clean energy on enough public land

00:19.520 --> 00:21.610
to power three million homes.

00:21.610 --> 00:25.100
And I'm proud to announce that
the Department of Defense,

00:25.100 --> 00:28.070
working with us,

00:28.070 --> 00:30.850
the world's largest consumer of energy,

00:30.850 --> 00:32.470
will make one of the largest commitments

00:32.470 --> 00:34.260
to clean energy in history,

00:34.260 --> 00:36.180
with the Navy purchasing enough capacity

00:36.180 --> 00:38.466
to power a quarter of
a million homes a year.

00:38.466 --> 00:41.826
(audience applauding)

00:41.826 --> 00:43.980
- This initiative continues progress

00:43.980 --> 00:46.430
toward the five energy
goals outlined in 2009

00:46.430 --> 00:48.690
by the Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus.

00:48.690 --> 00:49.640
The broadest goal being

00:49.640 --> 00:51.204
that at least half of all Navy energy,

00:51.204 --> 00:52.380
afloat and ashore,

00:52.380 --> 00:55.300
would come from nontraditional
sources by 2020.

00:55.300 --> 00:57.796
From Washington, I'm Petty
Officer Amara Timberlake.
