3. Introduction
Concept:
An energy crisis is any great bottleneck (or
price rise) in the supply of energy resources
to an economy.
Representation:
Oil crisis, petroleum crisis, energy shortage,
electricity shortage or electricity crisis.
6. Causes
Oil crisis:
• Supply—Demand Imbalance
Over –consumption
Choke point disruption or bottlenecks
at oil refineries
• Port facilities that restrict
fuel supply
7. Causes
Other energy crisis:
Industrial actions Political events
Union organized strikes Regime change
Government embargoes Monarchy collapse
Military occupation
Energy Coup
Over-consumption Ageing infrastructure
(cold winters) crisis
Infrastructure damage from Attacks by terrorists or
severe weather militia on important

12. Solutions
More oil drilling
More use of nuclear
power and coal
Passing a windfall profits tax to
assure that the oil companies did
not become too rich
13. Solutions
Forcing to raise the
fuel efficiency of cars
Imposing taxes to
assure that the price of
gasoline did not fall
Smaller, More Efficient
Vehicles
14. OTHERS
Accelerate Replacement & Control of Existing
Dirty Units
Support/Promote Use of Clean New Generation
Technologies for New Power Plants and
Distributed Generation
Support/Promote Environmental Dispatch (Use
Cleanest Units first and Dirtiest Units last and
only to Avoid Emergencies)
15. OTHERS
Address Power Plant Emissions Impacts on
RECLAIM and RTC Prices
Minimize Use of Existing Diesel-fired
Emergency Back-Up
Implement Executive Orders
Support/Promote Conservation Efforts
Investment Bankers to the Energy Industry
