Abstract :
The Security of Energy Supply has become a major concern worldwide, given modern society´s strong dependence on its adequate delivery. Not only does the functioning of industry, transportation, and communication and computer systems depend on a continuous energy supply, but our complete style of living collapses when energy fails. Surges in fuel prices, political conflicts, wars, and natural disasters directly threaten energy supply, and important policy concerns are being implemented as countries look at ways to protect themselves.
