Naval Power

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in new power sources for the Navy.

In the future, ONR intends to place increasing emphasis on "energy and power." While current efforts remain notional, scientists and researchers at ONR predict this area will move up the priority ladder as the Defense Department and the services seek alternative energy sources and ways to cut back on fuel costs.

I think that fits in well with the announcement made yesterday about the Navy funding Bussard Reactor Research.
