Powering America’s Defense:
Energy and the Risks to National Security
http://www.cna.org/documents/poweringamericasdefense.pdf
"1. The nation’s current energy posture is a serious and urgent threat to national security.
- a. Dependence on oil undermines America’s national security on multiple fronts.
- b. The U.S.’s outdated, fragile, and overtaxed national electrical grid is a dangerously weak link in the national security infrastructure.
2. A business as usual approach to energy security poses an unacceptably high threat level from a series of converging risks.
3. Achieving energy security in a carbon-constrained world is possible, but will require concerted leadership and continuous focus.
4. The national security planning processes have not been sufficiently responsive to the security impacts of America’s current energy posture.
5. In the course of addressing its most serious energy challenges, the Department of Defense can contribute to national solutions as a technological innovator, early adopter, and testbed."
