Of especial interest is analysis of a recently introduced damage intensity factor and its dependence on the level of limitations and the type of energy carriers. %K energy security %K security indicators %K estimation criteria %K damage %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/e212452602u12l3t/?p=72c169a283854f6d8f330d5bbd16eb60&pi=1
