   It depends in which way you mean crisis. Just because we may have plenty of energy does not mean there isn't a crisis. Building more nuclear stations is a crisis for the environment and all the people who will die 'un-officially' from devastating cancers and other diseases. The fact that the Government doesn't actually give a damn about proper methods for creating sustainable and non-poisonous energy creation, even though they lie daily and say they are concerned, is a crisis. The uk fails to meet it's commitment to treaties and pledged promises abroad with regard to energy is a crisis. Creating the energy is not a problem with the amount of science and technology we have. If the governments and companies did things the way we wanted them, the 'sensible' way, then this issue wouldn't even be on the table in the first place. Eventually, we will be held literally to ransom for our energy even though there are countless ways of producing it cleanly and not too expensive to produce too. This is a big business takeover of our energy supplies with the blessing of our government and most probably a big fat 'back-hander' for friends and associates who build stations and currently produce power. A set of hypocritical, worthless individuals who should know better!!

   Bio fuels are causing as much of a problem as fosil ones.
   Masses of rainforests are being destroyed to make way for the plants that give us the bio fuels. The cost of this is more co2 in atmosphere from lack of trees, and then some from the production of the fuel. This is just going to speed up global warming. Unfortunately where money is concerned, some people just think of now, not tomorrow.
   We need to harness more of the natural resourses that will not increase the carbon output.
   It does worry me what our future generations will have endure, because we were too weak to say no.

   Ever since I was a young man back ln the sixties the idea of a barrage across the Seven estuary has been debated.As a hydro electric scheme with a road bridge and even a high speed rail link across it,it should already be in operation. In this country we have some of the highest tides in the world,carrying a huge potential power source.There are many other estuary mouths around the country with a similar potential,and with tidal flows at different times of the day it is not beyond the realms of possibility to link them and give us a continuous input to the national grid.I have even heard a suggestion of a barrage from Portpatrick to Northen Ireland.Expensive for initial outlay perhaps but so are Nuclear power stations and think of the reduction in unemployment.

   Now is the time to concentrate on teaching the sciences to school kids. With more scientists we are more likely to establish better methods of providing energy for the future.
