The influence of energy development on society is expounded in detail from both positive and negative aspects.

Under the situation of economic globalization, a country's energy security is not only a matter of ensuring the balance of domestic energy supply. Due to the internationalization of the energy market, the contradiction between domestic energy supply and demand needs to be solved through energy import, and the stable operation of the national economy is closely related to the external dependence of energy. Therefore, the reliability of the country's energy import sources is bound to be closely related to the diplomatic relations of other countries with abundant energy resources and transportation routes. The country's energy security is even a political and military issue. Changes in the national energy development strategy will have an impact on it.

The choice of energy strategy has different emphases, which is directly related to the country's political, military and other national strategies. The traditional energy structure in developed countries is dominated by oil, which makes the energy supply dominated by oil. The change of energy strategy promotes the change of energy structure and energy industry. The development of renewable energy industry promotes the change of energy structure, and also promotes the change of energy industry structure, making the energy industry develop in a diversified direction. World-class oil companies such as BP are actively developing new technologies such as solar energy and fuel cells, and the future will no longer be just a single oil business.
