Synopsis:This BAFTA-nominated film is about energy, the world's most precious commodity. It discusses man's historic use of energy and examines the limits of the world's supply of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas. It considers alternative sources of energy, nuclear, solar, tidal, geothermal, etc., and emphasises the need to turn from the thoughtless over-consumption of the past to a more intelligent use of energy in the future
