National independent energy supply is not a new concept, it has been around for centuries; but I think it is much more relevant now than it has ever been. All countries require energy, just like we require food, shelter and clothing.

Energy provides everything from economic growth to sustainable civilizations. Basically without energy there is no bulk production of food, employment, transport, education or medical facilities Not just the basics of civilization but all the luxury items as well. Those of us that have energy can't live without it (literally) and those that do not, are hell bent on obtaining it.

A sustainable and affordable energy supply is no longer enough. Nations must also strive to have an independent energy supply. Independent energy supply is when a nation is self sufficient in supplying all of it's own energy requirements; hence it is not dependent on another country to supply its energy or its energy fuel. It is in control and not overly influenced by others. Perhaps this is the new definition of a truly sustainable civilization.

The world's conflicts are currently increasing to a level not seen since the second world war. This is causing either a decrease in energy fuel supply and or an increase in pricing. Nations are not as neighborly as they used to be; take Europe, Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East as examples. These areas that are not in armed conflict are certainly drawing lines in the sand politically.

Nations should now be looking to achieve an independent energy supply; to be in total control of it's own energy and energy fuel to ensure a sustainable civilization. It doesn't really matter what type of energy or energy fuel they choose, but it must be readily and abundantly available within that nations geographical and political boundaries.
