Energy Is the Achilles' Heel of Taiwan's National Security

As Russia continues to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure and Europe seeks to decouple from Russian oil, governments around the world have rightly refocused on energy security as an integral part of their national security. Taiwan is one such nation whose energy situation is dire and under immense external threat. The island's reliance on foreign energy imports is a tremendous threat to its national security—one that needs to be addressed immediately.The picture is grim.

Should China decide to take action and invade or blockade the island, the island would quickly find itself struggling to keep the lights on.Taiwan has worked for years to establish an energy reserve to mitigate this state of affairs. The results, however, are decidedly modest. The island's current stocks only comprise about 39 days of coal and 11 days of natural gas—considerably short of what would be necessary to defend the island effectively.
