How U.S. research and innovation are reshaping the global energy future Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe discusses how U.S. research and innovation are transforming the global energy landscape, beginning with comments on energy innovation necessity. In a time of rapid technological change and global geopolitical flux, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) is executing one of the most ambitious transformations in its history. At the intersection of science, economic policy, and national security, the Research, Technology, and Economic Security (RTES) framework represents a bold attempt to futureproof the nation’s energy architecture while ensuring responsible stewardship of public funds. In doing so, the DOE is not only refining how it governs federal investments but also how it positions America as a science and technology leader in a competitive global landscape.
