In the 21st century, the US government has passed a series of laws and regulations on energy, strengthening the domestic supply of energy and reducing its dependence on international energy supply. The US government uses legal instruments and fiscal and taxation levers to promote energy conservation. It vigorously develops renewable energy, researches on substitute energy, and invests on clean energy such as natural gas and nuclear energy, to create a diversified energy landscape. It has a profound impact on global new energy and its industries, international energy supply, and the world’s environmental protection industry.
