ARTICLES RELATED TO 1973 energy crisis | | | |  1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - 1973 oil crisis - Search for alternativesThe energy crisis led to greater interest in renewable energy, especially wood fuel and spurred research in solar power and wind power. It also led to greater pressure to exploit North American oil sources, and increased the West's dependence on coal and nuclear power.
In Australia, heating oil ceased being considered an appropriate winter heating fuel. This often meant that a lot of oil-fired room heaters that were popular from the late-1950s to the early-1970s were considered outdated. It also meant that some enterprising individuals designed aftermarket gas-conversi ...

The U.S. government response to the embargo was quick, but of limited effectiveness. A National Maximum Speed Limit of 55 miles per hour (88 kilometers per hour) was imposed to help reduce consumption. This, incidentally, was claimed by some to have caused traffic fatalities to drop by 23 percent between 1973 and 1974. As a result this law was not completely reversed until 1995. President Nixon named William Simon as an official "energy czar," and in 1977 a cabinet-level Department of Energy was created, which led to the creation of the United States' Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The ...

1973 oil crisis - World competition over resources.
The Arab-Israeli conflict triggered an energy crisis in the making. Before the embargo, the industrialized West, especially the United States, had taken cheap and plentiful petroleum for granted. (Indeed, the form American cities took after World War II - with expansive suburbs full of detached, single-family homes - depended on the automobile as the principal means of transportation - a form that consumes oil en masse as fuel.) Between 1945 and the late ...

| | | | 1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - Wood fuel - United States use of wood heat Use of wood heat declined in popularity with the growing availability of other, less labor-intensive fuels. Wood heat was gradually replaced by coal and later by fuel oil, natural gas and propane heating except in rural areas with available forests.
Wood fuel - 1973 energy crisis.
A brief resurgence in popularity occurred during and after the 1973 energy crisis, when some believed that fossil fuels would become so expensive as to preclude their use. A period of innovation followed, with many small manufact ...

| | | | 1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - Wood fuel - Environmental Impact Depending on topography and climatic conditions, wood heating in certain areas can cause air pollution, particularly particulates. "Slow combustion stoves" increase efficiency of wood heaters burning logs, but also increase particulate production. Low pollution slow combustion stoves are a current area of research. An alternative approach is to use pyrolysis to produce several useful biochemical byproducts, and clean burning charcoal, or to burn fuel extremely quickly inside a large thermal mass. This has the effect of allowing the fuel to burn completely without producing particulat ...

| | | | 1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - Wood fuel - Firewood Some firewood is harvested in purpose grown "wood lots", but in heavily wooded areas it is more usually harvested from natural forests. Deadfall that has not started to rot is preferred, since it is already partly seasoned. Standing dead timber is considered better still, as it is both seasoned, and has less rot. Harvesting this form of timber reduces the speed and intensity of bushfires. Harvesting timber for firewood is normally carried out by hand with chainsaws. Thus, longer pieces - requiring less manual labour, and less chainsaw fuel - ...

| | | | 1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - Oil price increases of 2004 and 2005 - Effects There is controversy regarding the potential effects of oil-price shocks. Some see these increases in the price of oil leading to a recession comparable to those that followed the 1973 and 1979 energy crises or a potentially worse situation such as a global oil crash. Most economists see this as unlikely, partly because all developed countries have high fuel taxes that decrease as oil prices increase and can be eliminated in the event of a dramatic price spike. Nevertheless, that loss of revenue would put a strain on government balance sheet ...

| | | | 1973 energy crisis: Encyclopedia II - Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries - History OPEC consisted of thirteen nations, including seven Arab countries but also other major petroleum-exporting countries in the developing world like Iran and Venezuela. It had been formed on September 17, 1960 to protest pressure by major oil companies (mostly owned by U.S., British, and Dutch nationals) to reduce oil prices and payments to producers. At first it had operated as an informal bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations. It confined its activities to gaining a larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil companies and greater control over the levels ...
