Abstract

We use the term energy in almost every area of our lives. Energy serves our lives in innumerable forms. Today, almost half of the energy used globally makes the lives of people living in cities more comfortable.
This comfort also means a complete dependence on energy for civilization. Today, we live in an energy-based society, the development of which is ensured by an energy-based economy. Without usable energy,
both would collapse. Heating, cooling, ventilation, all production would stop. Devices that require electricity would become unusable. Traffic would stop and all technical achievements would become inoperable.
In the absence of electricity, law enforcement and national defense would also collapse. The groups of security science can be interpreted only in the case of the availability of electricity, such as security informatics, communication, cybernetics, operations research as well as the entire vertical of defense technologies.
