Summary/Abstract

Energy is a vital component of development and its utilization pattern is significant determinant of the growth of a nation. So its quantity, quality and sources of availability are important elements in the measurement of a country’s comprehensive national power. Rapidly increasing energy demand and growing concern about economic and environmental consequences call for an effective and thorough energy governance in India. Strengthening our fuel reserves and diplomatic relationship with a wide range of oil rich nations; developing technology to nurture indigenous energy resources such as hydroelectricity, wind and solar energy along with efficient machines/mechanisms for energy use/distribution and honest policies framing to get rid of ambiguity over all these issues can be the panacea for resolving the energy crises in India.

Summary/Abstract

Peak oil theory predicts that oil production will soon start a terminal decline. Most authors imply that no adequate alternate resource and technology will be available to replace oil as the backbone resource of industrial society. This article uses historical cases from countries that have gone through a similar experience as the best available analytical strategy to understand what will happen if the predictions of peak oil theorists are right. The author is not committed to a particular version of peak oil theory, but deems the issue important enough to explore how various parts of the world should be expected to react. From the historical record he is able to identify predatory militarism, totalitarian retrenchment, and socioeconomic adaptation as three possible trajectories.
