Energy Overview

Energy crisis's have been an issue since the 1800's. The industrial revolution saw one of the first energy crisis's when wood became scarce. Wood was quickly replaced with other resources, such as coal. During the 1900's, the world experienced it's first oil shock in 1973. Although these past crisis's were resolved, they seem to be reappearing today. Alternative resources, such as wind power, are being developed to possibly replace the world's finite resources (natural gas, oil and coal). Many wonder if these alternative resources will be able to successfully and effectively replace natural gas, oil and coal - resources that have been around for years and are used in nearly every industry worldwide.
