Hot on its heels comes the mystical phrase “energy security” : an all encompassing term meaning essentially anything that gets in the way of continual power to feed our irrepressible need. Climate change is important too, or so the powers would have us believe, but in the end, like all things in politics, it’s the things that are out of the ordinary person’s control – terrorism and security – that really drive policy.
