Decision on Malmstrom fuel plant delayed

The Air Force is taking more time to decide if it will build a synthetic fuel plant at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.

According to an Air Force spokesman, a meeting Jan. 16 that was supposed to determine the fate of the scheme did not produce a decision.

“We didn’t get done what we thought we could,” spokesman Gary Strasburg said.

The proposal is part of the Air Force’s Enhanced Use Lease program, which allows a private company to lease space on military bases in exchange for base infrastructure improvements.

The service is responsible for 10 percent of aviation fuel consumption in the country and spends billions a year on jet fuel.

1. If we spent "on defense" what we needed to, rather than what
we want to on "offense"... well I doubt we'd have crumbling bridges, parents cutting their medications in half, and the Fox Lie Factory working overtime.
