  1. Energy security of Afghanistan

    Essay like date July 2010 The history of the energy security of Afghanistan has been wrought with conflict. The story of Afghanistan revolves heavily around its geography. In addition to being at the crossroads of Asian trade route s, the Hindu Kush Mountains have created a natural barrier between empires since the beginning of recorded history in Afghanistan . This has led to a tradition of societies of isolation, often consisting of many local tribes or clans. The immense diversity of culture, ethnicity, and religion has wreaked havoc on modern attempts at a unified, central state power. Viable energy resources are not plentiful in Afghanistan, and attempts at bringing fuels through the region have been met with much difficulty. It can be argued that trade and conflict have occurred in the void of viable domestic resources and that a tradition of instability has prevented progress in the form of domestic energy development or trade.

  1. Energy elasticity

    Energy elasticity is a term used with reference to the energy intensity of Gross Domestic Product . It is the percentage change in energy consumption to achieve one per cent change in national GDP . This term has been used when describing sustainable growth in the developing world, while being aware of the need to maintain the security of energy supply and constrain the emission of additional greenhouse gas es. Energy elasticity is a top line measure, as the commercial energy sources used by the country in question are normally further itemised as fossil, renewable, etc. For example, India s national Integrated Energy policy Energy Policy of 2005 noted current elasticity at 0.80, while planning for 7 8 GDP growth.
