What causes energy crisis?

An energy crisis occurs when a country has a great need for fuel or electricity but does not have enough of either (or both) to provide for its citizens, and as a result, energy becomes very expensive or not available to everyone. This can happen during a war, or during periods of economic uncertainty. For example, it is a crisis when people cannot find gasoline for their car because no gas stations have any to sell; or when gasoline is so expensive that people cannot afford to buy it.
