It's not the only thing that uses a lot of energy, and none of those things have been banned either. Depending on what you mean by "energy crisis", we could be in a long one or we could be between them at the moment, but in either case I wouldn't hold your breath for someone to do something as big as banning activities to deal with it. If energy crises work like other crises, expect for a few people to try to stop it while not having the ability to make a dent, governments to figure out too late that it's a problem, and some people to resist solutions of any kind even after most of society has realized the problems heading for us.
