Energy policy

Energy policy

  Legislation can be described as laws passed by the government to control the legal boundaries of a country or a community. The regulation applies to the process of examining and enforcing the rules that have been passed. Whereas legislation involves the government to make the laws or policies, control consists of the government bodies to implement the requirements. Bill is passed through an act of parliament, and the members of the community are also involved. In case someone disobeys the rules, there is punishment applied. There are specific requirements that should be followed by organizations, workers, and employers to create a competitive environment.

Legislation and regulation are needed in the energy policy history to make sure that the available energy sources are utilized efficiently. It is essential to establish technical, administrative, and legal measures to protect alternative sources of energy. An example of energy legislation is the laws that allow water to be used in the production of electricity (Ottoman et al. 550). Water produces energy that is used to rotate turbines or generators in the production of electricity. An example of energy regulation is control of energy rates and all the processes that get the power to homes and industries by the governing bodies. The provision of favorable laws and management ensures a high level of alternative sources of energy. For instance, the USA has the highest level of renewable energy as a result of favorable policies provided on the alternative sources of energy.

The private industry involves individuals and companies that are not under the control of the government to generate income for the country. The role of the private sector should be to provide employment and increase output growth in emerging economies and developed countries. Strong involving and engagement of private industries can lead to a prosperous and healthy planet. It is achieved by increasing the use of clean energy solutions. The private industry should also work in collaboration with regulators and governing bodies to find innovative ways of creating more sustainable energy sources.

Alternative energy solutions refer to renewable sources of energy. An example includes solar energy from the sun, geothermal energy, wind energy, micro-hydroelectric energy, and biomass (Solorio et al.). The main advantage of the renewable sources of energy is that the energy produced is clean, and it is also cost-effective. To develop alternative energy solutions, the US government will ensure security in the supply of power, provide the energy costs are low, and also protect the environment. The government can also finance the development of new energy sources and technologies and improve the extraction and production of energy sources.

Energy supply is an essential factor in the security of every country. In this country, energy is in high demand to provide different energy solutions required in various sectors. Insecurity in the energy policy in a country can lead to fluctuation in the prices of different energy products and services. Therefore, the role of national security in this country in the development of energy policy is to control the government policies involved in the energy sector.

National security is tasked with the role of harmonizing and mitigating our interests to reduce climate change globally. The body should ensure that appropriate strategies are designed in the United States of America to promote lower carbon. Besides, the body is responsible for identifying threats that are posed by energy insecurity.
