- Accessibility: if it is easily accessible and available.
- Affordability - if a country can afford the competitive pricing.
- Reliability - a reliable and uninterrupted supply.
- The more a country depends on imported energy, the more it is exposed to geopolitical and economic risks.

- Non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).
- recyclable fuels (nuclear, general waste and biomass)
- renewable (water, wind, solar, geothermal and tidal).
- From 1820-2010, Coal (180 ExaJoules P.Year) and oil (160 ExaJoules P.Year) have been the largest con-sumption rises.
- between 1820 and 1910, mostly biofuels and a small amount of oil where the only energy sources used.
- security is achieved when a country as a plentiful supply of energy with an uninterrupted availability with an affordable price.
