    I don't know if this is what you meant, but here are the findings and recommendations, minus the discussion.

    Finding #1: The recommendations from the 2001 Defense Science Board Task
    Force Report “More Capable Warfighting Through Reduced Fuel Burden” have
    not been implemented.

    Finding #2: Critical national security and Homeland defense missions are at an
    unacceptably high risk of extended outage from failure of the grid.

    Finding #3: The Department lacks the strategy, policies, metrics, information,
    and governance structure necessary to properly manage its energy risks.

    Finding #4: There are technologies available now to make DoD systems more
    energy efficient, but they are undervalued, slowing their implementation and
    resulting in inadequate future S&T investments.

    Finding #5: There are many opportunities to reduce energy demand by changing
    wasteful operational practices and procedures.

    Finding #6: Operational risks from fuel disruption require demand-side remedies;
    mission risks from electricity disruption to installations require both demand- and
    supply-side remedies.

    Recommendation #1: Accelerate efforts to implement energy efficiency Key
    Performance Parameters (KPPs) and use the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel (FBCF),
    to inform all acquisition trades and analyses about their energy consequences,
    as recommended by the 2001 Task Force.

    Recommendation #2: Reduce the risk to critical missions at fixed installations
    from loss of commercial power and other critical national infrastructure.

    Recommendation #3: Establish a Department-wide strategic plan that establishes
    measurable goals, achieves the business process changes recommended by the
    2001 DSB report and establishes clear responsibility and accountability.

    Recommendation #4: Invest in energy efficient and alternative energy
    technologies to a level commensurate with their operational and financial value.

    Recommendation #5: Identify and exploit near-term opportunities to reduce
    energy use through policies and incentives that change operational procedures.
