Energyshortage has a clickable map with info on short term and long term energy shortages worldwide, with detailed blog posts too.
The Oil Drum has more, especially about India, where a lack of monsoon rain for hydroelectric power has led to massive power shortages. This also effects the US, as the high tech hub of Bangalore, where much work is out-sourced to, is also having power problems.

What’s needed for a worldwide solution is renewable energy that is cost-competitive with coal. Nuclear power is indeed cheap once built. But it’s very expensive to build and takes years. Plus there’s the obvious disposal problem.
As a planet, we must find ways to create cheap renewable energy on a mass scale.
