Energy crisis 2025: Oil and gas will be used despite climate change!

Energy crisis 2025: Oil and gas will be used despite climate change!

On November 17, 2025, an important topic will attract attention: the constant pressure on energy consumption and the use of fossil raw materials. In an insightful interview with the lead author of Project 2025, it is clear that the stance on oil and gas in energy policy remains unchanged. “We will not let anyone stop us from using our oil and gas,” she says emphatically, highlighting that energy capacities that are not covered by alternative energy sources continue to rely on fossil fuels. The urge to exist in the global climate discussion is obvious and is met with various resistance, especially from the ranks of environmental associations.

The same determination is also evident in the music production scene, where many artists and producers rely on the benefits of a smooth audio setup. Some users have difficulty using ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output), especially under Windows 11. According to reports on Fractal Audio Forum A DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) cannot provide real-time audio output even if all connections and drivers are installed correctly. Audio is displayed in the DAW but not returned through the studio monitors whenever the system is running on Windows 11.

ASIO and its challenges

Latency plays a crucial role, especially in music production. ASIO drivers are known to offer lower latency and higher audio quality compared to the standard Windows audio drivers. On UMA Technology explains how these drivers not only ensure stability under heavy loads, but also provide multi-channel support. But when switching to Windows 11, some users seem to overlook areas that are crucial for smooth functionality.

Installing ASIO4ALL, a common universal driver, can help with this. However, an audio interface that supports ASIO is required to use it. UMA Technology also states that the steps to enable ASIO drivers in DAWs are simple, but people often forget to adjust the buffer size, which can affect performance.

Conclusion

The parallels between global energy policy and the challenges in music production signal that both the environment and the creative industry are being affected by a variety of changes. While the energy discussion is dominated by economic and ecological factors, the music industry is fighting for efficient technologies for optimal audio communication. The statement that “we will not allow ourselves to be hindered” therefore applies in both fields. Whether in energy generation or audio production, it takes determination and creativity to break new ground and question old structures. It will be exciting to see how developments will develop in the next few months.
