Oil Crises and Environmental Movements

Oil crises refer to periods of severe shortages and price spikes in oil, often triggered by geopolitical tensions or OPEC's production decisions. These crises highlighted the world's dependence on fossil fuels, leading to increased awareness of environmental issues, such as pollution and climate change. As a result, environmental movements emerged, advocating for renewable energy sources and sustainable practices. These movements aim to reduce reliance on oil, promote energy efficiency, and address the ecological impact of fossil fuel consumption, contributing to ongoing discussions about energy policy and environmental protection.
