Today, ordinary people are eager to know when and how this crisis will be resolved. Due to the shortage of mineral oil and the steep rise in its prices, we must turn our attention to solar energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, and wind energy, as these are cheap and inexhaustible sources of energy. Electricity is a basic necessity for us, but at the rate it is being consumed, we may face a shortage in the future.
