Scenarios about 'energy policy'
Energy policy encompasses governmental approaches to energy production, distribution, and consumption, including regulations, incentives, and strategic planning across fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewables. These decisions influence economic development, environmental impacts, geopolitical relationships, and national security while shaping how societies address challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and technological innovation. In alternate history scenarios, different energy policy choices often create divergent technological pathways and international power dynamics.
