The World of PHYSICS…

World Energy Supply, combined resources by which the nations of the world attempt to meet their energy needs. Energy is the basis of industrial civilization; without energy, modern life would cease to exist.

During the 1970s the world began a painful adjustment to the vulnerability of energy supplies. In the long run, conserving energy resources may provide the time needed to develop new sources of energy, such as hydrogen fuel cells, or to further develop alternative energy sources, such as solar energy and wind energy.


While this development occurs, however, the world will continue to be vulnerable to disruptions in the

supply of oil, which, after World War II (1939-1945), became the

most favored energy source.During the energy crisis of the 1970s, people frequently had to wait in long lines to purchase gasoline. The shortage was caused largely by an embargo imposed by oil-producing nations.


Much of the world’s energy comes from non-renewable resources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas. Although these resources are distributed over a large geographical region, consumption of energy centers in industrialized nations.

This table shows the percent of the world’s total energy supply used by each region. Oil is not the only resource involved in the comparison; oil equivalents are provided to give perspective to the percentages.

With the growing needs and demands for energy specifically oil,

the world has experienced inconveniences and hard ups.

Shortage and abrupt increase in its cost made it to difficult for

undeveloped and developing countries like Philippines.

Our Philippine government this times has launched various explorations just to look for

alternative sources of energy.

As we all know, all possibilities are being tested to find solutions to the energy crisis, and at the same time lessen the environmental hazards

and damages these energy sources are expected to create and affect.

The World of PHYSICS…As of this time, the primary

concern of the government and the Filipino people is the shortage

of electric energy. We all know that power is

progress. And without electricity, progress will not be possible.

These are the major sources of electrical power in our country

from Luzon – Visayas – Mindanao:
