★★★★★ · Excellent in all respects. · Thomas Lundy · 2018-09-06

This admirable film presents the USA's energy options, as they were understood in 1976. The level of technical detail is very high, given that it seems to have been intended for a general audience. The soundtrack is very well done. I particularly enjoyed the Moog laced blues theme that opens the film. Creators of electronic music will be tempted to collect multiple samples.
