Quote:Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz grilled Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on his department's budget during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing:

"The Department of Defense continues to spend billions of dollars unnecessarily on alternative energy research programs at DoD. The Navy recently spent $170 Million on algae fuel, that costs four times as much as regular fuel," Cruz said.

He continued by describing other similar projects in contrast to cuts in the funding for additional combat troops in the United States' armed services.

I'm unable to comment until I read an accurate report about this on HuffPost.

Wait, Cruz is against military funded research?

I don't have the answer. Hopefully because the research will one day allow us to be 100% free of foreign oil and we won't have to send troops to other parts of the world to secure it.
