Summary	USMC has an ambitious energy agenda, but current budgetary pressures highlight the need for careful analysis of the best renewable energy options available that meet the USMC basic energy goals. Among these, energy security at installations is paramount, i.e. installations need to be able to meet their minimum energy requirements when the electricity grid is interrupted by natural disasters or by a potential adversarial attack on US infrastructure. Additionally, initial studies by NREL have highlighted that the USMC Net Zero goals for energy independence of installations (goals also shared by the US Navy) are not economic under any foreseeable financial/budgetary outlook.
