	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.
		An energy crisis is a situation in which we have disruption in oil supplies that increases energy prices rapidly and threatens our economic and national security.

		The crisis often has effects on the rest of the economy, with many recessions being caused by an energy crisis in some form.
		It is possible that the world is heading towards a global energy crisis due to a decline in the availability of cheap oil and recommendations to a decreasing dependency on fossil fuel.
		The energy for the Green Revolution was provided by fossil fuels in the form of fertilizers (natural gas), pesticides (oil), and hydrocarbon fueled irrigation.

	Gasoline Prices and Energy Policy - The 2000 Energy Crisis
		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.

	1973 oil crisis Summary
		On October 16th, 1973, as part of the political strategy that included the Yom Kippur War, OAPEC cut production of oil, and placed an embargo on shipments of crude oil to the West, with the United States and the Netherlands specifically targeted.
		The price rises had a much greater impact in Europe than the embargo, particularly in the UK (where they combined with industrial action by coal miners to cause an energy crisis over the winter of 1973-74, a major factor in the breakdown of the post-war consensus and ultimately the rise of Thatcherism).
		The 1973 oil crisis was a major factor in Japan's economy shifting away from oil-intensive industries and resulted in huge Japanese investments in industries like electronics.

		The overall energy intensity of the economy (measured by the ratio of total energy consumption to the constant dollar level of the Gross Domestic Product), a reflection of energy conservation,(32) did not increase between 1986 and 1988.
		The large jump in energy prices is widely considered to be a cause of the economic recession that occurred in 1974 and 1975, though some later economic studies indicate that other factors may have contributed.

	The Energy Crisis: 1973
		In 1973, there was a sudden and unpredicted interruption of the supply of petroleum to the world.
		Most people, when asked about the connection, will readily agree that the 1973 Oil Embargo was not the result of a real energy shortage, but assert that it made us aware of the limitations of the supply of petroleum and brought us a new consciousness of the realities of energy limitations.
		Petroleum is only one source of energy, one of many, and is only of mediocre importance in the overall energy picture for centuries to come.

		But the county's energy problems truly became raised to a high state of consciousness after the OPEC countries embargoed their oil in October 1973 to countries that supported Israel during the Arab-Israeli War.
		Even if the energy cost of the nuclear plants were near zero, the capital costs were huge--sometimes as high as five-times the average cost of construction for more conventional plants in the 1970s and 1980s.
		As a result, regulation--even after the energy crisis hit--proved to be fairly unimaginative and acquiescent to the demands of utility companies, often to the chagrin of customers who paid higher rates.

		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.
		In the industrialized countries, especially the United States, the crisis was for the most part borne by the unemployed, the marginalized social groups, certain categories of aging workers, and increasingly, by younger workers.
		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.

		When generating electricity, energy from the combustion of fossil fuels is often used to power a turbine.
		Older generators used steam generated by the burning of the fuel to turn the turbine, but in newer power plants the gases produced by burning of the fuel turn a gas turbine directly.
		The reports from the early 1973 energy crisis) that oil supplies would run out in the 1990s have proven wrong, but oil is still believed to be a finite resource.
