Summary
The supply of energy is currently a global issue. The traditional structures are changing rapidly, as there are deep breaks in the supply of raw materials, because the consequences of climate change are calling for action and because political and economic considerations should lead to energy self-sufficiency. One cause of the strong public and political perception of these processes is the paramount importance of energy for economic and social stability of a country.
