These 40 bundles dropping out of a U.S. Air Force Globemaster III over Afghanistan last December aren't just any supplies; they're filled with liquid fuel. That's right; this is a shot of a gas station operating at 30,000 feet. If the U.S. Army has to airdrop its Humvees into remote and unfriendly locations, it makes sense for the fuel to arrive the same way, as it does here with these 40 bundles. Cost? About $11 a gallon.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced plans Monday to cut its energy demand, which consumed five billion gallons of oil in 2010, at a cost of $13.2 billion.
