LEDs at Fort Knox mean bright future

Fort Knox continues to be on the cutting edge of energy conservation. The post has received the Secretary of the Army Energy and Water Management Award on 10 occasions for accomplishments as significant as tapping geothermal wells for heating and cooling to harnessing the sun through a network of solar panels. As a sign of the thoroughness involved here, post conservation efforts extend to small matters as well — from harnessing rain water for irrigation and fueling vehicles with its own underground supply of natural gas to items such as repainting rooftops as a conservation tool.
