	70's
		The growth of the movement during the 1970's was partially spurred by the radical protests of the 1960’s, an era which questioned many of the trends in American society, from materialism, to imperialism, to violence, to racism.
		It is important to emphasize that the energy crisis in the United States cannot be explained simply as the result of the political alliances.
		The 1973 oil crisis did not wholly cause the energy crisis, though it is important to understand its impact and its catalyzing component.

	1973 oil crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the height of the crisis in the United States, drivers of vehicles with odd numbered license plates were allowed to purchase gasoline only on odd-numbered days of the month, while drivers with even-numbers were limited to even-numbered days.
		The crisis was further exacerbated by government price controls in the United States, which limited the price of "old oil" (that already discovered) while allowing newly discovered oil to be sold at a higher price, resulting in a withdrawal of old oil from the market and artificial scarcity.
		The energy crisis led to greater interest in renewable energy, especially wood fuel and spurred research in solar power and wind power.

	1979 energy crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1979 (or second) oil crisis occurred in the wake of the Iranian Revolution.
		As the average vehicle of the time consumed between 2-3 liters of gas (petrol) an hour while idling, it was estimated that Americans wasted up to 150,000 barrels of oil per day idling their engines in the lines at gas stations.
		Carter's fire-side speech argued the oil crisis was "the moral equivalent of war." More importantly, Carter, as part of his administration's efforts at deregulation, proposed removing price controls that had been imposed in the administration of Richard Nixon during the 1973 crisis.

	Energy Crisis
		Energy legislation of all sorts is pending in nearly every state capital in the nation.
		Although the crisis of the mid-1970s was quickly forgotten by the public, it continued to exist.
		The energy crisis of the ‘70s, however, was all about the supply of oil being cutoff, and only gradually did environmental concerns become linked to conserving energy.

		However, the present crisis is not a question of whether prices are high, but the speed at which they are rapidly escalating.
		With the other hand, he steals an "energy premium" from the pockets of all persons, a premium that is particularly oppressive to persons on fixed incomes.
		Energy policy is a volatile topic, and for eight years -- since the oil price collapse in 1992 -- energy costs have not been a political issue.

	The Coming Energy Crisis?
		Energy crisis is a situation in which the nation suffers from a disruption of energy supplies (in our case, oil) accompanied by rapidly increasing energy prices that threaten economic and national security.
		Although the crisis did not happen because not all the warning signs existed at that time, the current situation is much worse because US production is lower, import dependency and import concentration are higher, and world excess capacity is lower and matches that of the 1973 crisis.
		The world excess capacity today is similar to that of the first energy crisis in 1973, substantially lower than the capacity during the second energy crisis in 1979-1980, and slightly lower than excess capacity in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait.

	Looming Oil Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But according to new scholarly assessments of oil reserves, the world faces a relentless oil-supply crisis beginning in the early years of this new century.
		Consistent with the supply-disruption events of the 1970s, oil production models assume the swing producers will impose radical price increases when they supply more than 30 percent of the world's demand, leading to a worldwide plateau of demand until the swing producers' share reaches 50 percent.
		Crisis Stage One - Increased Oil Prices: The first crisis is predicted by the production models to occur in the near future, when the production share of the swing producers reaches 30 percent.

	Energy Outlook
		Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have exposed many problems with our energy infrastructure, not the least of these being the concentration of our refining capacity in a region likely to be hit by more large hurricanes in the future.
		The 1970s energy crisis changed all that, helped along by the depletion of mature oil deposits in states like Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.

	ALN No. 36: Clark: Sustainable community planning
		The energy crisis of the 1970s brought the industrialized nations of the Western Hemisphere face to face with a new reality: their cities, especially those in the United States, are poorly positioned to deal with a growing population in a future of diminishing fossil fuels.
		Possibly the most enduring results of the energy crisis have been the continuing experiments with alternate sources of fuel (primarily solar and wind), alternate types of building construction (adobe, rammed earth, straw bale, and others), and the many and varied energy-conservation programs sponsored by local utilities.
		Superficially, the specter of dwindling energy resources has been pushed aside by development of more energy-efficient automobiles and by government assurances that we have, by political means, secured the sources of fossil fuel energy.

	Columns: Moral from 1970s energy crisis forgotten today
		Our last "energy crisis" is as far ago in the past as the end of World War II was when the 1970s opened.
		The energy "crisis" of the 1970s turned out to be basically a mismatch between demand and supply.
		Today, we are relying on pretty much the same energy sources as always: We dig or pump things out of the ground, and we burn them.

	Equipo Nizkor - Latin America: Renewable Energy Not Always Sustainable
		Ten percent renewable sources of energy, established as a worldwide goal for 2010, is already a reality in Latin America, but that has been achieved mostly through big hydroelectric dams, which environmentalists argue are not sustainable.
		The most accessible renewable source currently seems to be geothermal energy, given the high costs still associated with widespread use of solar, wind or wave power, though biomass (made from biological waste) is also gaining ground, as are small hydroelectric dams, which are also seen as more sustainable.
		The Caribbean island's energy matrix ''is sustainable because it is changeable and is tending towards achieving sustainable energy development,'' Luis Bérriz, president of the non-governmental group Cubasolar, told Tierramérica.

	NASA - Glenn Responds to 1970s Energy Crisis
		In the 1970s, citizens' growing concerns about industrial threats to the environment and anxiety over fuel prices prompted unified energy planning within the federal government.
		With funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy, NASA constructed and operated its first experimental 100-kilowatt wind turbine at Plum Brook in Sandusky, Ohio.
		In the 1970s, NASA Glenn's Stirling work focused on car engines that would eventually use hydrogen as the working fluid.

	SOLAR TODAY - Home
		Humanity’s “primary energy production,” including all fossil fuels, nuclear power, hydroelectric and renewables, is 13 terawatts (equivalent to 13,000 large power plants), less than 1/100 of 1 percent of the 170,000 terawatts continuously delivered to the earth as sunlight.
		A battery with three times the energy density of lead-acid and a charging time under two minutes is scheduled for introduction in 2007 or 2008.
		Renewable energy technologies have higher net-energy yield than nuclear by far and are faster to install, so it will be possible to ramp up in even less time.

	Francis de Winter • The Coming Global Oil Crisis
		Renewable energy and energy efficiency may suddenly become widely recognized to be of crucial importance to the population of the USA, and society may increase the taxes on fossil fuels to force the consumption down.
		This "Energy Crisis" had a major impact on human behavior and interests, but the repeated "oil gluts" that came afterwards made it clear that this "Energy Crisis" had not been caused by the depletion of the oil fields of the world.
		The 1970s "Energy Crisis" reduced oil consumption, delaying the world Hubbert Peak about 15 years (see Ref. 18), but it is expected to happen around 2010 at the latest (Ref. 10) but more likely around 2007, and the world natural gas production peak will come at most 15 years later (Ref. 10).

	Gauging the (natural) gas
		Survived Energy Crisis I? Then you must remember this: In 1973, in Oregon, price was no object: this gas station had nothing to sell.
		The twin energy shocks of the 1970s shook the American economy and lead to dramatic sales of [the horror, the horror!] small, efficient cars.
		A second distinction from the previous energy crises is the paucity of interest in energy alternatives.

		Gradually, it dawned on people that much of the wild optimism for mankind's future was misplaced, and the heady promises made by scientists, professionals, planners and technocrats of the sixties were illusory.
		Politically, neither the Conservatives under Edward Heath nor Labour could grapple with the economic difficulties which were complicated by the energy crisis (1973 on) and relations with the trade unions.
		But ordinary people as well as conservationists and ecologists were challenging the "bargain" by which governments could buy energy at the cost of their people's safety.

		Indeed, the “Energy Crisis” of the 1970s was never a simple event with a straightforward interpretation, but instead a mixture of all these concerns.
		In the long run, we know that humanity must achieve another major energy transition — one that substantially reduces our reliance on finite stocks of fossil fuels and moves us towards greater reliance on alternative and renewable non-fossil fuels such as solar, wind, geothermal, and perhaps nuclear power.
		Energy use in the transportation sector will also be a subject for separate focus.

	A model for tackling the energy challenge - The Boston Globe
		Winning the race to the moon was a technological triumph, to be sure, but its benefits reached deep into the nation's psyche, inspiring a generation of children to believe that they could play a role in the nation's most exciting ambition and providing fuel for the nation's innovation economy.
		Federal energy research funding that is sporadic, at best, is one reason university research has not realized the promise of the post-1970s energy crisis.
		The Department of Energy has increasingly emphasized basic energy research in a range of areas -- a welcome recognition that we have much yet to learn on the way to truly game-changing energy technologies.

		Democrats, noting his heavy dependence on energy industry donations in his presidential campaign, have complained that Bush's plan is long on drilling, short on conserving and preserving.
		Blackouts, talk of future energy shortages, a continued dependency on foreign oil, warnings of rationing and even higher prices, give it a 1970s-era energy crisis hue.
