It can be said that the global crisis in the world in 2008 deeply affected all states and
changed almost all balances. Such crises experienced in the world during this period and possible
same crises in the future are important. However, such crises have monetary solutions although they
have resulted in serious destruction of economic and social structures of the countries. Nevertheless, if
the necessary measures are not taken, a more serious crisis will arise in a future not too far from now.
The difference of this crisis that will arise compared to the former ones is that there won’t be a
monetary solution for it. Continuous growth in the increase of energy consumption in the world is an
inevitable problem. This situation makes many countries around the world face the problem of energy
independence and energy security. In this study, the classification and characteristics of energy
sources will be discussed first. Then, energy independence and security problem created by
termination of energy sources and their being under control of specific countries will be examined by
comparative analysis method based on statistical data.
