The Energy Crisis: A Unique Perspective

We are all aware of "The Energy Crisis", and we all are constantly being urged to limit our use of this precious resource. But just how many of us have ever stopped to think about just what is the root of the problem? I have, and my conclusions are such that I decided to post the results here.

Basically, there is no such thing as an energy shortage; never has been, never will be. I suppose I must qualify this as being my own opinion, but it really is more than an opinion; it is based on facts and logic, which I will attempt to present here.

The start of it all: the 1973 Oil Embargo

Petroleum: a limited resource

Alternative Fuels

Military/National Defense impacts

What the future will bring
