Abstract The recovery of Western Europe was linked a new structure of energy consumption. Coal was still dominant but oil and natural gas became essential. European countries began to import energy from remote countries, reconstruction in Europe means the modernisation of coal industry but the imports from the USA were unavoidable. Often, nationalisations were chosen to improve the results of energy supply industry. In fact, the rebuilding of oil refineries was faster and more efficient than the recovery of coal pits. Finally, western countries chose very different paths for their energy policies till the beginning of CECA in 1951.
