We\u2019re pursing all kinds of renewable energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Money for the project has been applied for through the Department of Defense\u2019s Energy Conservation Investment Program, meant to invest in energy savings at military bases. Evans said he expects to hear back within a few months about the windmill proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Navy on Guam is laying solar-power membranes atop buildings and using solar-powered lights to brighten playgrounds, Evans said. Earlier this year, the Navy installed solar water heating at two locations, including at some barracks.<\/p>\n<p>The engineers have plans to use rainwater to clean out kennels at a new military dog facility. And they are in the beginning stages of studying the feasibility of using geothermal power, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Guam officials, too, are looking for ways to incorporate green energy into their grids, according to Simon Sanchez II, who chairs the island\u2019s Consolidated Commission on Utilities.<\/p>\n<p>Guam Power Authority has solicited bids to provide the grid with 80 megawatts of wind power, Sanchez said in an e-mail last week. So far, applicants have said they could provide no more than 50 megawatts. The bids are being reviewed, he said.<\/p>\n<p>By Terri Weaver<br \/>\nStar and Stripes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/article.asp?section=104&amp;article=64250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/article.asp?section=104&amp;article=64250<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guam could be home to four U.S. Navy windmills under a proposal by naval engineers on the island.
