Another new dimension of the energy security problem is the manner in which high prices and increased reserves have transferred power to energy producing countries. State owned companies now control far more oil and gas reserves than do the traditional private energy companies once known as the seven sisters.

In the aftermath of the oil price shocks, energy security policy has had four components.

These discussions include joint initiatives on maritime security, counterterrorism, weapons proliferation, disaster prevention and management, and energy security.

The Strategic Energy Policy Challenges study puts enormous weight on the threats of a similar disruption today.

The Perilous Fantasy of Energy Independence

Here, Sweden will attach particular importance to energy efficiency programs, which will serve not only the purposes of enhancing energy security and reducing costs, but will also be an important contribution to the fight against climate change.

So measures to deal with energy security must address the demand side even more than the supply side.

The trend by which consuming countries grow steadily more reliant on energy from a small number of producing countries threatens to exacerbate energy security worries.

But, of course, exacerbation of some of these crises and conflicts could lead to renewed concerns about energy security.

However, inadequate accommodation arrangements and security concerns are putting a slight damper on things.

If we had a century to change the world s energy system, we could feel reasonably secure.

Of course, increasing import dependence does not necessarily mean less energy security, any more than self sufficiency guarantees uninterrupted supply.

Numerous coalitions emerge to take on the challenges of economic development, energy security, and environmental pollution through cross border cooperation. Much innovation occurs at the local level, as major cities develop links with industry to reduce local emissions.

It initially appeared that Germany under Chancellor Angela Merkel would be more sensitive to the energy security of Central and Eastern Europe.
