1
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,925
The sun rose
upon a young, barren earth.
2
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,243
Slowly, vast and profound
changes occurred.
3
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,479
Water vapor, heated by
the sun, formed clouds,
4
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,962
condensed, and fell to
Earth, creating the oceans.
5
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,050
The heat of the sun produced
the winds and currents,
6
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,679
and life began its evolutionary journey.
7
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,359
Plant life, using the
sun to create oxygen,
8
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,729
made possible animal
life, and eventually, man.
9
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,286
How was primitive man
to deal with the power
10
00:01:31,287 --> 00:01:32,645
that controlled his life?
11
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,290
Power that could provide or deny.
12
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,484
Fear turned into worship.
13
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,609
Some created rituals to
ensure the sun's return.
14
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,285
Some sacrificed to the sun.
15
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,081
Others used the sun to plan
their planting and harvests
16
00:02:03,082 --> 00:02:05,686
and used its changing orbit
to warm their dwellings
17
00:02:05,687 --> 00:02:09,127
in the winter and cool them in the summer.
18
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,599
And the more he learned,
the less he feared.
19
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,568
And knowledge only increased his awe.
20
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,559
Meanwhile, underground lay a vast store
21
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,199
of the sun's energy, trapped, waiting.
22
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,161
Oh, hmm, hey, this
stuff really burns good.
23
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,004
Hey Todd, I told ya.
24
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,399
It burns.
25
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,559
Hmm, wonder if this
stuffs worth anything?
26
00:03:30,401 --> 00:03:31,479
There's money in oil!
27
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,604
- I'm rich!
- I'm richer.
28
00:03:32,605 --> 00:03:33,726
Always topping me, Harry.
29
00:03:33,727 --> 00:03:35,445
Let's call it black gold!
30
00:03:35,446 --> 00:03:37,647
That's a good
phrase, it might catch on.
31
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,199
That's some worm!
32
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,481
Boy, everything is great!
33
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,439
Yeah, terrific.
34
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,679
Yeah, good.
35
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,567
Right, right.
36
00:04:21,568 --> 00:04:22,686
Nice.
37
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,290
Hey, remember the good old days
38
00:04:25,291 --> 00:04:27,359
when we could just go drivin'?
39
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,999
Yeah, that was terrific.
40
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,203
It's over.
41
00:04:35,403 --> 00:04:36,839
Oil, more oil!
42
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:37,727
It's coming. more oil!
43
00:04:37,728 --> 00:04:40,479
I told ya. nothing to worry about.
44
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,769
Importing more oil
only made matters worse!
45
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,764
The value of the
dollar dropped again today
46
00:04:51,765 --> 00:04:53,522
on world money markets with news
47
00:04:53,523 --> 00:04:55,648
of the latest OPEC price increases.
48
00:04:55,649 --> 00:04:58,039
Financial observers predicted.
49
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,679
And people began to worry!
50
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,759
I'm worried.
51
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,682
I'm very worried.
52
00:05:14,683 --> 00:05:16,119
Somebody do somethin'.
53
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,119
Don't look at me, man.
54
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Find more oil!
55
00:05:17,961 --> 00:05:19,403
Tell me where, I'll make a hole!
56
00:05:19,404 --> 00:05:20,639
- It's your fault.
- It's yours.
57
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,562
It's the weirdos.
58
00:05:21,563 --> 00:05:23,401
Who you calling
weirdo, I'm a democrat.
59
00:05:23,402 --> 00:05:24,365
Yeah, I'm the weirdo.
60
00:05:24,366 --> 00:05:25,280
Then it's the democrats.
61
00:05:25,281 --> 00:05:26,122
Maybe it's the republicans.
62
00:05:26,123 --> 00:05:27,404
It's the two party system!
63
00:05:27,405 --> 00:05:28,639
No man, it's the oil companies.
64
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,764
It's the environmentalists.
65
00:05:29,765 --> 00:05:30,600
It's them Russkis.
66
00:05:30,601 --> 00:05:31,520
You mean the Russians.
67
00:05:31,521 --> 00:05:32,362
Why doesn't the
government do anything?
68
00:05:32,363 --> 00:05:34,599
What government, the
people are the government.
69
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,329
Then why don't
the people do nothing?
70
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:37,731
You're the people.
71
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,604
Yeah I never thought of that.
72
00:05:40,605 --> 00:05:41,440
What the heck?
73
00:05:41,441 --> 00:05:42,280
That's a good point.
74
00:05:42,281 --> 00:05:43,120
Excuse me, have you seen my dog?
75
00:05:43,121 --> 00:05:44,801
He's a little white dog with a black spot.
76
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,443
The sun feels good on your skin.
77
00:05:55,444 --> 00:05:57,919
You know, when you're wet and cold
78
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,805
and it dries you and warms you up.
79
00:05:59,806 --> 00:06:01,243
When mama did the wash,
80
00:06:01,244 --> 00:06:03,401
we'd hang the clothes on the line
81
00:06:03,402 --> 00:06:04,970
and when we took them down,
82
00:06:04,971 --> 00:06:08,839
I remember how warm they
felt and the fresh smell.
83
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:09,682
It was wonderful.
84
00:06:09,683 --> 00:06:11,523
And with an early
spring we had plenty
85
00:06:11,524 --> 00:06:14,079
of sun that year and everything grew.
86
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,603
We're still eating the
preserves Alice put up.
87
00:06:16,604 --> 00:06:19,604
In those days we
built our houses of adobe.
88
00:06:19,605 --> 00:06:23,959
First the adobe, a little
straw, and the sun did the rest.
89
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,247
Of course you have to be careful
of the straw, otherwise...
90
00:06:26,248 --> 00:06:28,843
We have a solid north
wall and with the south end
91
00:06:28,844 --> 00:06:30,442
of the house open to the sun,
92
00:06:30,443 --> 00:06:32,245
you really won't need a backup system
93
00:06:32,246 --> 00:06:34,204
because the orientation of the house...
94
00:06:34,205 --> 00:06:36,005
Have your power sources, son,
95
00:06:36,006 --> 00:06:38,763
watering trays colored
black to absorb heat,
96
00:06:38,764 --> 00:06:40,522
glass goes on top, traps heat,
97
00:06:40,523 --> 00:06:42,165
and that's called a solar collector
98
00:06:42,166 --> 00:06:45,079
and then you pump the hot
water to any part of the house.
99
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,923
That more than
a quarter of our energy
100
00:06:46,924 --> 00:06:49,439
is used for heating space and water.
101
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,959
So solving those requirements
gets us a good part
102
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,768
of the way.
103
00:06:52,769 --> 00:06:54,682
One thing about solar energy I like,
104
00:06:54,683 --> 00:06:57,399
it sure is clean and that's
important when you read about...
105
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,242
You're doing something about it,
106
00:06:58,243 --> 00:07:00,886
you're not at the mercy of
those foreign oil producers.
107
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,479
Well not as much, anyway.
108
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,320
I've often thought that one
109
00:07:03,321 --> 00:07:04,731
of the good things about solar energy
110
00:07:04,732 --> 00:07:07,199
is it's pollution free,
which is significant.
111
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,486
If you stop and think about it,
112
00:07:08,487 --> 00:07:11,719
you realize that the sun doesn't
send you a bill each month.
113
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,687
Over the years, that's...
114
00:07:12,688 --> 00:07:15,123
The fact that
solar is accident free
115
00:07:15,124 --> 00:07:17,359
goes a long way toward reassuring us
116
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,202
that we won't be faced...
117
00:07:18,203 --> 00:07:20,803
With solar you worry
less about terrorists
118
00:07:20,804 --> 00:07:23,446
and other people who use
violence to achieve their aims.
119
00:07:23,447 --> 00:07:25,362
And my astronomy
professor says the sun
120
00:07:25,363 --> 00:07:27,005
will always be there, at least
121
00:07:27,006 --> 00:07:28,645
for another several billion years or so.
122
00:07:28,646 --> 00:07:31,530
Actually, one of the
most important solar energy
123
00:07:31,531 --> 00:07:34,319
developments involves photovoltaic cells.
124
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,046
That's getting direct
electricity from the sun.
125
00:07:37,047 --> 00:07:40,245
In five years, it'll be
competitive to the stuff you buy
126
00:07:40,246 --> 00:07:41,730
when you turn on your lights.
