ENERGY ISSUES IN THE WORLD AND IN TURKEY

Turkey, like some other developing nations, has been facing energy problems. Energy need has been increasing not only because of economic grovvtl, but also betause of the high population increase and cultural development. A sod of reciprocal effect between energy use and economic growth makes the societies demand more energy. Turkey has taken some steps to answer the ever increasing energy demand; but estimations show that these steps are definitely not enough to meet the need in the coming years. She must take some additional and immediate actions before the gap between energy demand and supply starts increasing even faster. These actions may be taken on the demand and supply sides. Besides, some incentives may be applied to encourage the private enterprise and free market system; courses and researches may be implemented at universities for the renewable energy sources in order to decrease dependency of the country and for the sake of sustainable development.
