Reasons Of Rising Energy Costs

Albert Einstein stated that energy can be converted from one form to another and that it is not possible to destroy energy, thus making the amount of energy in the universe constant. However, there is one form of energy that is making the world run its everyday routine and occasional advancements. Yes, I am talking about the fuels we are consuming. Had Einstein realised the amount of energy we are consuming in only one form, as fuels, and how badly we are in need for more fuel for the future, he would have probably worked on devising something that would convert every available energy into usable fuel energy or make recyclable fuels.
The reason behind this shortage is the increasing advances in the world and a rapidly increasing usage of these advances. Population explosion is one reason causing this to happen indirectly. This is because, when the population of a nation increases, its usage on every particular aspect such as the production of automobiles, their usage on the roads, consumption of daily requirements such as food, electricity and gas would also increase. As the products available for consumption for this lot of new people, such as fuels, crops etc are not increasing proportionately, we are falling short.
This increase in demand implies something I studied as a kid in my social studies text books; rise in costs. One perfect example of this rise in costs is the group of Arab countries lying on an ocean of crude fuels. This is true because the Arab nations are very rich in possessing ground fuels underneath. So, decades ago, the richer nations which were in grave need of these fuels as feed for their rapid industrialism had to tie hands with these nations in exchange for the fuel barrels. This is one of the most influential reasons behind one unit of currency of some of these Arab nations costing more than a British pound or an American dollar.
Energy is available in several forms for consumption such as crude fuels like petroleum, diesel, oils, natural gases, coal and other organic derivatives. The drawback with these is that they cannot be replenished, at least not as quick, so as to proportionate the amount of fuels being used or an increase in the amount of people who use these fuels. This has been considered as a severe issue only in the last two decades. For example, two decades ago, even until 2003, a barrel of crude oil used to cost around 25USD. This price got doubled by mid 2005 and reached a whopping 137USD by 2008. Middle East Asian tensions such as the Iraq issues and other nations running out of these fuel reserves are the main reasons behind this.
This can be brought down to a small extent by conserving the consumption of the fuels and energy sources that are available to us lest we should work on a surviving a world without petroleum decades from now.
