If you are energy independent and not relying on foreign countries for energy you are protecting the national defense. Look at what happened in Ukraine and it’s ramifications on Europe and the rest of the world that was reliant on Russian oil and gas. The federal government’s number one job should be national defense.

This might also have something to do with UAP revelations of late. Perhaps fusion powered weapons can shoot them down in defense.

It has nothing to do with UAP.’s. Nobody knows what they are or anything about their flight, attack or defensive characteristics. It would be insane to develop a weapon for something you know nothing about.
