Did anyone see the NYT article this week on the US military's use of renewable energy in their Afghanistan efforts?

Seems they've brought in a Marine company of solar power specialists to try and lessen the military's reliance on easily-ambushed tanker trucks full of fuel for military generators. Perhaps this week will be remembered as the week we lessened our military's dependence on foreign oil so they can more effectively fight to maintain access to foreign oil. Or something like that. Maybe a silver lining here?
