In an article for the Atlantic Council, RAISE advisor Dr. Sara Vakhshouri emphasizes the urgent need for a National Energy Strategy (NES) to align U.S. energy security with long-term national interests. Modeled after the National Defense Strategy, the NES would ensure stability, resilience, and bipartisan support, addressing critical challenges like rising energy demands, supply chain diversification, and infrastructure resilience. A cohesive NES would enhance economic growth, energy independence, and U.S. leadership in global energy markets. To read Dr. Vakhshouri's article, click here: https://lnkd.in/eu65h5N7. Notably, Romania published its National Energy Strategy for 2025-2050 last fall. The strategy focuses on renewable energy, energy security, and regional collaboration. #EnergySecurity #NationalStrategy #EnergyLeadership #Romania #GlobalEnergyMarkets #Sustainability #RAISE
