A Note From the Editor:
We are excited to unveil our newly redesigned website at The National Interest. Our goal was to create a cleaner, more modern layout that makes it simpler than ever to navigate. This streamlined interface improves the reader experience and delivers faster access to our latest pieces and in-depth perspectives. We invite you to take a look.
We are also proud to announce the launch of our new Energy World blog. Energy powers every dimension of modern life—and it is undergoing a seismic transformation. Energy World examines how intensifying geopolitical competition, new technologies, and climate change converge to reshape this vital sector, with an emphasis on the implications for American security and U.S. competitiveness in global markets.
We hope you’ll take a moment to read our most recent piece from Kenneth Luongo, who warns about America's declining presence in the global nuclear energy market.
