energy policy
Fuel governance framework
Energy policy is a government's strategy for producing, distributing, and consuming power—decisions about fossil fuels versus renewables, nuclear power, efficiency standards, and pricing.
The term appears constantly in debates about climate change, economic development, and national security: The administration's energy policy prioritizes domestic oil production.
Energy policy shapes everything from electricity bills to international relations.
