Synopsis
Explains that all forms of energy have circuit breakers; when demand exceeds supply, the circuit breaks; when several circuits break at the same time, we have an energy crisis. Examines the traditional sources of energy, looks at the present to show how demand is steadily gaining on supply, and looks to the future to see what new sources of energy show the greatest promise. Can serve as a springboard for discussion on what each person can do right now to cope with the energy problem.

Pretty interesting film qhich tells of the energy crisis America was facing in 1975. While the film explored many past present and future ways to save fuels. I of course was disttracted by the 70's look of the whole film, from the fashions (of course) to even the type they were using, this is a great relic of times gone by..
