There's a wide body of scientific evidence supporting the fact that electromagnetic forces have a significant impact at many scales throughout the solar system and cosmos. It has been observed, since at least the early 70s, that the Sun's electric field induces auroras, radiation belts [0], and convection in planetary magnetospheres [1][2]. The OP title might be a little sensational by calling this an energy crisis - but the photos of the heat bands were really interesting IMO.

I admire movements like the Electric Universe Theory [3] for spreading awareness of plasma cosmology, magnetohydrodynamics, etc. I think in the future there will be an ecosystem around solar space weather, [4] is an example of such.
