As the price of electricity in California has risen and the threat of a serious energy crisis looms in the UK and elsewhere, The Coming Energy Crisis in the UK website is building information resources to assist you to cope with the dangers and benefit from the opportunities which the coming crisis represents.

In this opportunity section, we refer the reader to sustainable options available both on a personal level and from a broad global perspective. Comments and suggestions for links are welcomed. Join us as the sustainable energy future unfolds.
