DerivedEnergy Policy: General Doctrine
Energy policy should be judged by reliability, strategic resilience, affordability, environmental stewardship and long-term human welfare rather than loyalty to one technology.
Position
Energy is strategic infrastructure. European nations should retain sufficient domestic and diversified capacity to preserve political independence, productive industry and household security.
Policy
- Maintain diverse and resilient domestic energy supplies.
- Reduce dangerous dependence on strategically unreliable foreign suppliers.
- Evaluate technologies by lifecycle environmental impact, reliability, cost, land use and strategic resilience.
- Maintain sufficient dispatchable generation for grid stability.
- Invest in transmission and storage where technically and economically justified.
- Avoid policies that make ordinary heating, transport or electricity economically inaccessible.
- Protect landscapes and local communities.
- Permit technological pluralism rather than one mandated energy source everywhere.

Climate Policy
Environmental stewardship includes prudent climate mitigation and adaptation, but climate policy does not justify unlimited centralized control or policies that impose disproportionate hardship for negligible benefit.

Environmental Stewardship
Nature is an inheritance entrusted to humanity rather than a commodity without limit or a divinity, and should be stewarded accordingly.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require.
