The World Energy Crisis
How do we define an energy crisis? Well it could be defined as either a large drop in the supply of energy available or a large rise in the price of energy. More often that not it refers to a shortage of crude oil and electricity, as well as other natural sources of non-renewable energy.
Our present oil reserves will last 40 years at most and will decline significantly well before then, so it's time to investigate new sources of energy. Globally, experts are working hard to find out how renewable sources of energy can be used to better fulfill our energy needs. This process is difficult and time consuming but significant changes are already occurring.

Energy - Traditional Knowledge and Climate Science
Although indigenous communities bear the least responsibility for human-induced climate change, they are very active in spearheading renewable energy initiatives in both developing and developed countries as a means of achieving energy self-sufficiency on their lands and territories.
In the Arctic, the Sami have transitioned from using petroleum to using solar light technology in their nomadic reindeer camps. In Indonesia, the Dayak Pasar indigenous peoples developed a project to install clean energy electricity from micro-hydro in an effort to ensure sustainable and community-based development and conservation. And in Mexico, local communities have developed high efficiency wood stoves to reduce their reliance on forest products.

What about Europe?
Europe energetic dependence shows that (...) by 2035 over 80% of our energy will be imported, posing a threat to Europe’s competitiveness and endangering its economy.
The solution lies in renewable energetic sources: "Europe is at the cutting edge of renewable energy technology and a world leader in wind energy. Wind energy is already meeting 7% of the EU’s electricity demand and its potential is enormous. The European Commission itself says that wind power could meet 32-49% of our electricity demand by 2050" (in EWEA)
The potential of GREEN ENERGY in Europe is enormous. Check ERENE site and video:
