Smalley, Nancy O'Nita. 2023. Examination of Alternative Energy as a U.S. National Security Priority: 1987 – 2017. Master's thesis, Harvard University Division of Continuing Education.Abstract
Alternative energy development has been a consistent priority of U.S. National Security Strategies since 1987. Despite the prioritization, alternative energy is still in early emergence and diffusion stages. An examination of the national security prioritization of alternative energy against global oil prices and budget allocations for alternative research and development is examined to determine if there are any correlations. No correlation between the examined data is found. The U.S. Government should work towards policy integration to ensure consistent prioritization and subsequent budget allocations to make a transition towards greater energy independence using alternative energy sources, while ensuring sustained focus.Terms of Use
