U.S. dependence on increasingly scarce fossil fuels threatens U.S. security while also undermining international stability. Absent revolutionary changes in energy policy, U.S. foreign policy goals may be undermined, living standards may erode and the U.S. may become highly vulnerable to the machinations of rogue states. In an address at Brookings, Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) discussed the need for leadership by the next president in combating energy threats to U.S. national security.
