National Center for Energy Analytics published the U.S. Energy Security Index, which integrates cybersecurity, foreign-based supply risks, and mineral-supply concentration into a single U.S.-focused measure of energy-security risk.

The National Center for Energy Analytics is a national energy think tank, founded by Executive Director Mark P. Mills. There has never been a more critical time for sober-minded, fact-based, emotion-free perspectives in energy domains because the U.S. and European governments, along with many U.S. states, are embarked on the biggest industrial spending program in history. These efforts are in pursuit of an “energy transition” with the goal to rapidly replace hydrocarbons that currently supply 80% of the world’s energy. The stakes and consequences are high precisely because “transitions” of such scale have never occurred and because reliable, abundant energy is necessary to sustain human civlization.
