From the Paper:
''In the United States of America, there are looming concerns regarding the use of non-renewable energy resources such as natural gas, coal, and oil that were once considered to be the life blood of this nation. These concerns include the present and prospective effects that the over reliance on such energy resources can or may have on the environment, economy, and thus the security of this great nation. The current looming energy crisis is not a completely new phenomenon, for in 1973 the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) enacted an embargo on oil exports to the United States as a result of its support for the state of Israel during the "Six Days War" (Bezek and Wendling 132). This embargo caused a shortage of the energy supply and thus a rise in the cost of energy. Consequently, the American consumer was compelled to cut expenditures while seeking new ways of conserving energy leading to an economic recession.''Sample of Sources Used:
