Energy security has top priority in policymaking, and is often used by politicians as a rationale for policy changes that also entail greenhouse gas emission reductions. This article investigates systematically the close relationship between energy security and climate change. We discuss the potential for whether U.S. climate policy stands to be altered through calculated policy choices that could both increase energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We find that when energy security and climate change concerns increase in the same time period it may incur changes in power relationships between the actors involved. Under such circumstances will the potential for issue linkage be high and consequently create room for new climate policy programs. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
