ENERGY CRISIS INTRODUCTION 1. An energy crisis is any great shortfall (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. It usually refers to the shortage of oil and additionally to electricity or other natural resources. The crisis often has effects on the rest of the economy‚ with many recessions being caused by an energy crisis in some form. In particular‚ the production costs of electricity rise‚ which raises manufacturing costs. For the consumer‚ the price of gasoline (petrol)

GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS: THEN AND NOW Global Energy Crisis: Then and Now Introduction The world today faces an energy crisis. The world is dependent on certain natural resources like oil and natural gas that are quickly depleting. These resources are being imported from countries that have the ability to set higher prices due to demand (Nef 1977). Because of this‚ the world faces a great recession‚ and like Britain in the second half of the 16th century‚ we need to find alternative sources
