Briefly, the following steps could help overcome the crisis:
1. Discourage oil-intensive activities.
2. Replace oil by alcohol-based fuels from sugarcane and other crops.
3. Develop more efficient techniques for liquefaction of coal so that it can be transported over long distances at lower costs.
4. Prevent fires and roof collapse accidents in coal mines.
5. Develop safer, cheaper technology for nuclear, solar, wind, wave, tidal and geothermal energy.
6. Get developed nations to provide funds ‘and technology to natural resource-rich developing nations to utilise energy sources efficiently.
7. David Pimentel, professor of ecology and agriculture at Cornell University, has called for massive reduction in world populations in order to avoid a permanent global energy crisis. The implication is that cheap oil has created a human overshoot beyond earth’s carrying capacity which will inevitably lead to an energy crisis.
So, sustainable balance must be maintained between economic development and population growth.
