Energy+Crisis

This is some of the reason why there was an increase in energy demand:**
 * Kasie Diamond- I think that this Unit was about learning how to help the world and learning how to take care of it.

Although it is true that environmental regulations have caused some increased energy demand and have restricted supply to some extent, it is important to recognize that other factors have been considerably more significant. These include rapidly escalating demand for energy, energy pricing policies, oil import quotas, lack of incentives to invest in domestic energy facilities, and depletion of domestic oil and gas reserves.

The nightmare is starting to become reality. We are in a BIG Energy Crisis. Oil is now reaching $300 a barrel. Eventually we will have to find different ways to commute because of the gas prices being so high. We are using non-renewable resources. We are using renewable resources too, but we have used so much we are running so low! We need to find away to conserve our energy.

There are many actions that could be done to reduce the energy consumption, some of these actions are:


 * **Development of an energy conservation program**
 * **Transportation control plans**
 * **Mass transit**
 * **Resource recovery programs**
 * **Fuel economy labeling program**
 * **Land use programs**
 * **Development of more efficient auto propulsion systems**

[|Different sources for energy from MSNBC](If you need to see the different types of energy sources then you want to go to here. It gives you different types of energy like solar power and wind energy.) Here is a site from MSNBC that is about different energy sources.

[|Article about Energy Crisis](I had found this link to be very useful for my social issue paper. It gave me facts about the energy crisis that helped me out.) [|Another article about energy crisis] [|Water Cars] [|Wind energy]

We are starting to come up with more and more ways to conserve energy, and natural gas is one of the many ways! URL-[|http://www.pickensplan.com/theplan/(I] found this link to be very useful. It gave me some good ideas for my social issue paper.) Today some people think that wind energy will solve problems, some say natural gas, and others say just by NOT using so much energy, but some also say that solar energy will help... GREATLY! My only concern would be at night when you need to use energy. Heres a picture/ graph of what they are planning. [| URL- http://www.energycrisis.org/] [|New Energy for America] ([|and more]

Jordan Christy The big idea from this unit was to show people what the Energy Crisis was and how we could help to stop the Energy Crisis.
