Wild Card's description: 

The oil crisis in the 1970s demonstrated how serious the impact of a sudden black-out of oil supply on advanced economies can be. As a result, e.g. France oriented its energy sector to be sustained by a nuclear energy. If this crisis happened again, it would still show persisting dependence of the advanced economies on oil and gas; it would yet show the potential of a nuclear energy, as it is relatively insensitive on development of fossil fuels prices at the world market.
