	American Experience \| Jimmy Carter \| Primary Sources
		It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will.
		And we are the generation that will win the war on the energy problem and in that process rebuild the unity and confidence of America.
		Energy will be the immediate test of our ability to unite this nation, and it can also be the standard around which we rally.

	Energy Policy: Setting the Stage for the Current Debate
		An energy policy that would most effectively shield the nation and the economy from the worst effects of supply shortages would be a policy that might well deny the nation the full benefits of cheap and plentiful energy when markets are stable.
		U. energy policy has been primarily market-based for nearly 20 years, but policy makers have been weighing whether problems in some sectors and with some fuels are attributable to lingering inefficiencies interfering with markets, or whether government intervention may be necessary to protect consumers and the economy from problems to which markets cannot flexibly respond.
		However, it was the electric utility crisis in California in early 2001 that shifted the focus of electricity restructuring legislation away from comprehensive bills that dominated the electric utility restructuring debate in the 106th Congress.

	FACSNET NewsBackgrounder \| Making Sense of the 2001 Energy Crisis
		When the term "energy crisis" was coined in 1973, members of the media were caught in an unenviable situation: their publics (and their editors) were screaming for information -- reliable information -- about energy in general and about the impacts of the Arab oil embargo in detail.
		Many of those same reporters were still on the energy beat six years later when the second energy crisis hit, and the quality of reporting in 1979 was noticeably more informative than it had been in 1973.
		Now, as the U.S. faces yet another energy crisis, a new generation of reporters needs to be brought up to speed quickly on what the energy business is all about, and how they can do their jobs effectively, efficiently, and completely.

		Of this, approximately 19% of the energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, while clouds reflect 35% of the total energy on average.
		Solar design is the use of architectural features to replace the use of electricity and fossil fuels with the use of solar energy and decrease the energy needed in a home or building with insulation and efficient lighting and appliances.
		For a stand-alone system, some means must be employed to store the collected energy for use during hours of darkness or cloud cover - either as electrochemically in batteries, or in some other form such as hydrogen (produced by electrolysis of water), flywheels in vacuum, or superconductors.

	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
		New energy systems will take many decades to create, so the early decades of the 21st century may see a transition phase where the tensions caused by the old system's inability to cope with the challenges are exacerbated by the uncertainties surrounding what will replace it.
		Although energy fuels economic growth, and is therefore a key concern for all countries, access to and use of energy vary widely among them, as well as between the rich and poor within each country.
		The energy chain that delivers these services begins with the collection or extraction of primary energy that, in one or several steps, may be converted into energy carriers, such as electricity or diesel oil, that are suitable for end uses.

	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 Permanent Energy Crisis
		To be sure, the United States has experienced severe energy crises before: the 1973-74 "oil shock" with its mile-long gas lines; the 1979-80 crisis following the fall of the Shah of Iran; the 2000-01 electricity flouts in California, among others.
		Three such vectors, in particular, demand attention: a slowing in the growth of energy supplies at a time of accelerating worldwide demand; rising political instability provoked by geopolitical competition for those supplies; and mounting environmental woes produced by our continuing addiction to oil, natural gas, and coal.
		We are, in fact, caught in a conundrum: the world needs more energy to satisfy rising global demand, and the only way to accomplish this at present is to squeeze out more oil, gas, and coal from the Earth, thereby hastening the onset of catastrophic climate change.

		Energy carriers in terms of varied end uses and ease of handling and storage, are not easily interchangeable.
		It is concluded that renewable energy sources will not be able to sustain present rich world levels of energy use and that a sustainable world order must be based on acceptance of much lower per capita levels of energy use, much lower living standards and a zero growth economy.

	TomPaine.com - The Permanent Energy Crisis
		Energy experts have long warned that global oil and gas supplies are not likely to be sufficiently expandable to meet anticipated demand.
		The only source of energy that can compensate for a shortage of oil and gas at this time is conventional (unclean) coal, and a rise in its consumption would increase the risk of catastrophic climate change.
		With looming energy shortages, the risk of conflict over energy access (and the wealth fossil fuels generate) is certain to grow.

	Alcohol Fuels: Energy from Agriculture
		For example, April 3 1979, before the effects of the March 28 OPEC ministers meeting were fully felt, the price of unleaded regular gasoline ranged from a low of 50.6-53.9C per gallon in California to a high of 62.2-64.OC per gallon in the midwest.
		Put simply, opponents of their use contend that since more energy is consumed in producing the grain which would be necessary to produce a gallon of alcohol under conventional processes, the concept is ill-advised.
		The key is to insure that the energy inputs which are usable in the transportation sector are less than the energy outputs in form of alcohol.

	1973 oil crisis at AllExperts
		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.
