The first introduction to global vulnerability was the 1973 oil crisis. With frightening ease, a consortium of oil producing countries raised the price of fuel by manipulating the supply. Proactive companies want to avoid such a vulnerability in the future and use alternative energy consulting to plot their course.

All human beings and other living things co-exist in the same environment. However, rapid industrialization and urbanization has led to serious degradation of this environment and an upset of the balance established naturally. This is the reason governments worldwide are racing to come up with programs to help them restore the destroyed environments. They rely on services of alternative energy consulting firms to help them raise awareness among the public.
