Martin Dempsey: “An energy independent U.S. and a net exporter of energy as a nation has the potential to change the security environment…”

On the recordMarch 25, 2014
An energy independent U.S. and a net exporter of energy as a nation has the potential to change the security environment around the world, notably in Europe and in the Middle East. And so, as we look at our strategies for the future, I think we've got to pay more attention, and particular attention to energy as an instrument of national power.
