Welcome to this episode of Tinker Talks. We are talking about energy awareness this week.

You think your energy bill is high during the summer months? Imagine opening the bill for the largest industrial complex in the Air Force. Tinker Air Force Base used to be the #1 largest energy consumer in the Air Force. Generally being #1 is something to be proud of, but not in this case. Due to the hard work of many here at Tinker, we are now sitting at #4.

That may not seem like much, but in terms of energy usage it's quite a victory. But not one to settle on. There is work to be done.

This week we talk to the man who is responsible for energy usage and reduction at the largest consumer of energy on Tinker Air Force Base. Mr. Joseph Cecrle, the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex energy manager has the daunting task of managing and reducing energy at not only Tinker Air Force Base's largest customer, but the largest maintenance depot in the Air Force.

Energy might not sound like a fascinating topic, but check out this episode and listen to the passion and innovation by Mr. Cecrle and his team and it might change your mind.
