Energy 2000 (1977) | Vintage Film on America’s Energy Future

“Energy 2000” (1977) is a compelling vintage educational film that examines how humanity produces and consumes energy, tracing its evolution from the dawn of man and the use of fire through steam power, electricity, and the modern energy systems of the 20th century. Presented in a largely chronological structure, the film explores coal, oil, shale, natural gas, nuclear power, hydroelectric dams, geothermal energy, and early solar technology, while also highlighting unconventional sources such as wood chips, waste incineration, and experimental laser fusion research of the 1970s. Featuring excellent footage of power plants in operation, the film focuses on America’s five primary energy sources—oil, natural gas, coal, water power, and nuclear energy—and poses a central question of its era: as energy consumption surged in the 1970s, how much more power would society require by the year 2000? Digitized and preserved from original educational film materials for historical and archival viewing.
