Europe's energy: panic over, opportunity knocks

Article Abstract:

Western Europe has become able to handle its own energy requirements by cutting its dependence on imported oil, increasing indigenous production, and managing the demand. Europe's energy use has increased by only 12% since the 1973 oil crisis. Europe increased its oil production from about 20 million to 300 million tons per year. Oil imports account for only 25% of the total energy requirements, compared to a previous 65%. Europe's control of its supply and demand for energy gives it better bargaining leverage in international environmental issues.
