	EPA's Position on the Energy Crisis \| EPA History \| US EPA
		This paper is intended to discuss the causes of the difficult energy situation we face, the effect of the nation's environmental program on energy supplies, the action EPA has taken to deal with the crisis, and EPA's stance on pertinent energy/environmental issues.
		Use of energy by automobiles has increased rapidly (6.3% in 1972), yet automobiles and aircraft are the least efficient methods of transporting either personnel or cargo.
		Energy conservation will be a continuing objective, and energy will not be used with the abandon of recent years.

	The coming world energy crisis
		This is the homepage of Planetforlife, a family of websites devoted to aspects of the coming world energy crisis and the concept of peak oil.
		The new era of expensive energy will be very difficult for everyone on the planet but it will be even more difficult if it is not anticipated.
		It is of utmost importance that the public and especially policymakers understand the coming world energy crisis and the underlying science.

	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.

	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.

	The Energy Crisis
		Thesis: The energy crisis of the 1970’s was caused by our reliance on foreign oil and triggered a nationwide movement that advocated energy conservation and alternate energy sources.
		As the energy crisis began striking close to home, citizens of the United States could see how huge of a problem energy had become.
		The energy crisis of the 1970’s caused the United States to step up and begin conservation efforts and explore alternate energy sources.

		He says that research in renewable energies is important, and yet, he proposes to cut funding for the federal renewable energy activities by almost 26% next year.
		It is important to recognize that traditional energy sources, such as natural gas, crude oil, and coal will be used to meet the majority of America's growing energy needs in the foreseeable future.
		President Bush says that research in renewable energies is important, and yet, in the Bush plan, research and development funding for renewable energies is made dependent on revenues from oil and gas leases earned from private sector drilling in ANWR.

		In little more than two decades we've gone from a position of energy independence to one in which almost half the oil we use comes from foreign countries, at prices that are going through the roof.

		Certainly, the false cries of crisis indicate a dark motive is afoot.

		Russia's future as an energy superpower has been called into question by reports that it will not produce enough gas next year to satisfy both foreign and domestic demand due to years of under-investment.
		Russia boasts 26.6 per cent of the world's gas reserves and Gazprom, the state-controlled energy giant, is the world's largest producer of gas.
		But a leaked report from Russia's Energy Ministry says gas is not being extracted as quickly or efficiently as it should be and next year, for the first time, there will be a shortfall.

	Energy crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The crisis often has effects on the rest of the economy, with many recessions being caused by an energy crisis in some form.
		In a market economy, the price of energy supplies such as oil, gas or electricity is driven by the principle of supply and demand which can cause sudden changes in the price of energy if either supply or demand changes.
		It is possible that the world is heading towards a global energy crisis due to a decline in the availability of cheap oil and jecommendations to a decreasing dependency on fossil fuel.

		The first principle is that we can have an effective and comprehensive energy policy only if the government takes responsibility for it and if the people understand the seriousness of the challenge and are willing to make sacrifices.

	DIE OFF - Energy synopsis
		We find that the improvement in energy efficiency is due principally to three factors: (1) shifts to higher quality fuels such as petroleum and primary electricity; (2) shifts in energy use between households and other sectors; and (3) higher fuel prices.
		While an energy profit ratio of 20 means that only 5 percent of coal's gross energy is needed to obtain it, the sharp decline since 1967 is alarming.
		The rising energy costs (increasing extraction effort) and rising economic costs of oil set up a positive feedback loop: since oil is used directly or indirectly in everything, as the costs of oil increase, the costs of everything else increase too -- including other forms of energy.

		Within the realm of science and energy, the defining events of the 1970s were oil shortages: first in 1973, then again in 1977.
		Finally, in 1977, a bitter winter and a heating-oil shortage moved President Jimmy Carter to proclaim energy crises ``the moral equivalent of war'' and to retool ERDA into the cabinet-level Department of Energy.
		Recognizing the major role that heating and cooling buildings plays in energy consumption--one-fourth of the U.S. total--ORNL led the development of insulation standards that were later adopted by federal agencies, mobilehome makers, and trade associations.

		Polls show President Bush has succeeded in convincing Americans that the nation's energy woes are serious, but they worry the administration can't solve the problem given its extensive ties to the energy industry.
		And the energy plan Bush will release Thursday, crafted in near secrecy by a task force dominated by power-industry execs, with no environmentalists or consumer advocates, is likely to worsen that political crisis.
		Instead, Bush's surprising answer to California's energy crisis, as well as rising prices at gas pumps around the nation, has been to hawk his massive tax cut.

		In a report published today, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) said the Department of Trade and Industry fails to grasp that a shortfall caused by closing nuclear and coal-fired power stations cannot be replaced in time by the growing investment in wind farms.

		Even if the severe problems associated with both of these energy options could be overcome, it would take several decades and a few trillion dollars before they could possibly replace existing energy systems.
		Just as it turned out that they could profit from the collapse of Iraq and the California electricity crisis, they probably have formulas to profit from a global depression, peak oil, and global environmental collapse (and if they don't, they won't worry because they've already grabbed enough to ride out their retirements).
		No alternate energy source will be able to sustain our current population, much less the population growth that is predicted for our planet.

	The 1970s and America's Crisis of Confidence
		In 1975, the Trilateral Commission, an international organization of leading politicians and industrialists from the United States, Europe, and Japan, released a report entitled, "The Crisis of Democracy." Unlike Carter, these global political and economic elites concluded that America was suffering from too much democracy.
		In his July 1979 speech, "America's Crisis of Confidence," Carter told Americans that they suffered from a malaise, a disease of the soul, a crisis of confidence in their government, society, and future.
		But when Reagan himself lied to the American people, allowed the government to become corrupt and even criminal, and was caught selling arms to a terrorist nation and running arms to the Contras, both of which were against the law, many Americans became even more bitter about their government and society.
