Supertramp: 1970's Crisis? What Crisis?

Crisis? What Crisis?
Looks like there was intuition around in the 1970s...

This album was Supertramp's first album to be recorded in America in Los Angeles.
Living in LA myself, I can see where they got the idea for this cover. It would have been great if people had focused on using cleaner and renewable energy around this time, since it first became available over 20 years ago. I am sure if an energy initiative had started then, we would have more than 1% wind power being used in 2008. As mentioned in a previous blog, I would seriously recommend investing today in green renewable energy.

Wind can help solve energy crisis

Since it became a viable energy resource around 20 years ago, wind power has emerged as a leading renewable technology. At the end of 2006 the worldwide capacity of all wind turbines was close to 75 gigawatts, which represents around one percent of all electricity use in the world. Three quarters of that wind power usage is currently based in Europe.

Although these days it seems there are more pressing issues about a food crisis... (relates to energy)

BBC: Analysis: What to do about credit and food. Food and finance.
Those have been the two big themes over the last week at the IMF and the World Bank.

The IMF's Strauss-Kahn says "the problem could lead to trade imbalances that may eventually affect developed nations, so it is not only a humanitarian question".

And a lot more to read about the global food crisis here:
