Energy innovation critical to national security, too
October 6, 2017
With looming threats like a nuclear North Korea, national security is top of mind for many Americans. What some may not realize is that investing in advanced energy technologies is a critical component of our nation’s security, and Congress will be making major decisions on these investment levels later this year.
Better understanding the crucial role of energy technology in our overall national security can help Congress and the administration prioritize these investments, and help keep Americans safe.
From innovations that protect against cyber and physical attacks on U.S. energy infrastructure to protecting the country's nuclear weapons stockpile, our security demands a consistent strategic focus on new energy technologies.
This diligence is especially important as other nations work aggressively to capture the economic and security advantages of new energy breakthroughs.
