At center, Col. Robert D. Rice, commanding officer, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, and guests cut the ribbon for the base's new E85 fueling station on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Nov. 18. The fueling station was built as part of the continued expansion of alternative fuel vehicles on base. "As always, we are excited to lead the way in conservation," Rice said. "The use of E85 alternative fuel along with 70 flex-fuel vehicles, three hybrids and 20 electric carts will drive MCBH's carbon footprint lower and decrease our reliance on imported oil."
