An energy crisis occurs when the demand for energy exceeds the supply, leading to shortages and increased prices. This can happen due to various factors, such as natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, or sudden spikes in demand. Energy crises can affect electricity, oil, and gas supplies, impacting households and industries alike. During an energy crisis, governments and organizations often seek alternative sources of energy, such as renewable energy or nuclear power, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Public awareness and conservation efforts may also increase as individuals and businesses look for ways to save energy and lower costs.
