The term “energy crisis” is often misapplied. It is unlikely in the short-term than an actual “crisis” exists. Although energy costs are drastically higher in 1979 than in 1973 (Arab oil embargo) and some local or regional energy shortages have occurred, it is reasonable to assume, given published government reports, that severe energy problems will not exist until sometime near the beginning of the 21st Century.
