Summary/Abstract: The energy field is one of the factors most subject to technological evolution and rapid transformations in the current global spectrum. Energy policies will therefore also impact the field of defense resources. The aim of this paper is to pursue two types of energy policies and their impact on security and defense at European level. A first challenge is represented by green energy and its development. Green energy is a paradigm shift for production factors and will therefore influence at macroeconomic level, defense industries and the way these industries manage new technologies that require new types of energy in order to function. A second challenge that this paper wants to study is related to how the recent energy crisis at European level, which is due to a series of policies and decisions like implementing Nord Stream, may have an impact on defense resources and their allocation, especially for the states of the East Flank to NATO. With such challenges in mind, we aim to study the impact that all of these factors have on defense and security policies at a transatlantic level, including USA and European States.
