THREATS SOLUTION FOR ENERGY CRISIS[FINAL]

Energy Crisis is a widespread problem and have been experiencing not only on a single country but almost all over the world. As the time goes by, this problem has getting worse and worse and time will come that it will come into worst if not given emphasis.

Energy crisis is simply defined as shortage, scarcity, lack and insufficiency of the energy resources that we have. We are lacking of those energy because we are depending on a single source of it and since that we are dependent of that single source, that resource is decreasing and decreasing until it gone and when it gone, it will be hard for the people to look for the other resources for the reason that they have been independent on that single resource. Many countries around the globe have been experiencing it since early 1970’s. US dependence on petroleum imports has grown steadily and commercial petroleum stocks to cope with an interruption in import matches the historic lows proceeding 1973 and 1979 energy crisis. Even here in our own country, Philippines is experiencing those bad effects of it for so many years.

Many case studies have proven and have come up a number of reasons why there is an existence of such serious problem. One of these major causes is the modernization related with the industrialization. The demand for energy rises as the technology improves since it is requiring more energy to generate different machines. Another cause is associated with high dependency on oil imports. We only have small and limited deposit of oil locally and internationally, and since that, it is possible that those deposits will be dried up.

There are so many bad effects of energy crisis that we might encounter. Some of these are: the global warming which includes the climate change, bad effects on economic, political and even social aspects, global famine, scarcity of energy supply, increase of illiteracy rate, emerging of many health related problems, being worthless of those hi-tech equipments, gadgets and other electronic devices and many other more. All those are terrible that we don’t want it to happen. Not only our government had the power to resolve this problem. Every individual have a significant role that can contribute to solve this problem. Not only those poor people but also those rich, not only those whites but also those blacks, not only those Christians but also those Muslims and not only those ordinary people but even those who are in government will badly suffer if not given emphasis fo it to solve.

Let us be awakened and stop our dependence on carbon fuels and other petroleum products. We still have other alternative energy resources. There are windmills generated by wind turbines, nuclear power plant, solar energy, hydropower energy from dams and rivers, bio-fuels and many other efficient energy resources that we can use instead of oils. We, people can do little ways that can contribute a big part for this matter. Conserving energy (so simple yet so hard to other people) like plugging out or turning off those electrical appliances when not in use. As a concerned citizen, we can walk or even ride a bike when going to a near places (instead of riding car) which will contribute not only to lessen the problem concerning oils, but as well as helping the environment as we lessen pollution and promote a healthy and physically fit lifestyle.

Energy crisis is a hard problem indeed that we can’t resolve it in just a snap. I understand that it's hard for everyone, but we'll have to draw lessons from the current crisis and now we'll have to work on overcoming it. Notice that as energy crisis arise, our environment also suffers. Environment has been devastating earlier than the birth of energy crisis. God made the earth not to be destroyed by the people but to be cared off. We, people are very blessed to have this kind of world that we are living in so in return, we should preserve its beauty for the other generation that will come. So let's all act as one, conserve energy, and maintain environmental beauty.
