When we talk about energy security, we’re really talking about protecting ourselves from war. That might sound like a strange thing to say, but it’s true. After all, energy is what powers our society. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to heat our homes, cook our food, or power our factories. And without energy, we couldn’t fight wars. That’s why energy security is so important. By ensuring that we have a reliable supply of energy, we’re also ensuring that we’re not at the mercy of other countries who might cut off our supply. In a world where energy is increasingly scarce, that’s a very important thing.
