Sources under one per cent of the mix are left out of the table rather than listed as a row of zeroes. Percentages are shares of a country's primary energy, not of the power it generates.

What the threat reading is made of
| Conflict | 0 |
|---|---|
| Unrest | 0 |
| Security | 0 |
| Spillover from neighbours | 0 |
| Natural hazard | 35 |
| Resilience | 75 |
Each is 0 to 100. Resilience runs the other way to the rest: a high number is a country better able to absorb a shock, not a country in more trouble.
