14. To summarize just a small sample of the literature framing energy security as a multi-dimensional concept, Benjamin K. Sovacool, "Coal and Nuclear Technologies: Creating a False Dichotomy for American Energy Policy," Policy Sciences vol. 40, no. 2 (June 2007), pp. 101-122 implies that energy security consists of technical feasibility, affordability, environmental protection, reliability and security of supply.
15. Daniel Yergin, "Ensuring Energy Security," Foreign Affairs vol. 85, no. 2 (March/April 2006), pp. 69-82 argues that energy security is composed of reliable and affordable access to energy supplies, diversification, integration into energy markets, and the provision of information.
16. Andreas Kemmler and Daniel Spreng, "Energy Indicators for Tracking Sustainability in Developing Countries," Energy Policy 35 (2007), pp. 2466-2480, posit that energy security must connect with environmental sustainability, and that it should be composed of promoting energy efficiency and reducing energy intensity, protecting the natural environment, reducing pollution, and distributing energy to all that need it so that standards of living can be improved.
17. Jeffrey Logan and John Venezia, "Weighing U.S. Energy Options: The WRI Bubble Chart," WRI Policy Note on Energy Security and Climate Change (Washington, DC: World Resources Institute, July 2007) comment that energy security must include sufficiency of supply as well as reliability, affordability, environmental sustainability, geopolitical stability and social acceptability.

Sovacool, "Developing an 'Energy Sustainability Index' to Evaluate Energy Policy," Interdisciplinary Science Reviews vol. 32, no. 4 (December 2007), pp. 335-349 note that energy security must include adequate supply and affordable prices but also social and cultural sustainability and environmental preservation.
