Energy (1960s)

[Music] [Music] la [Music] [Music] energy is the force that powers all all movement it is wind and heat and machine power the source of motion that makes things stop and [Music] start energy is the wink of an eye the Brilliance of the [Music] Sun but the sun can also make hard work even harder [Music] not so long ago we got our lumber with swep and a sharp [Music] axe but that was before the power saw farming was a gring test of a man's endurance until machines ease the burden this is one way to work with metal this is a better way we used to stack wood a piece at a time now we can do it a tree at a time we've gone from moving single stones to moving entire mountains the old way and the new perhaps the biggest change of all came with the Horseless Carriage in 1905 there were only two cars in Kansas City and they ran into each other but the early automobile was only a reflection of things to come driven by a new energy source we found ourselves in a new era an era in which we enjoy a Mobility our forefathers could never have dreamed about and at the heart of this Mobility is energy in [Music] abundance we use more energy than any other Nation on Earth where does it all come from 4% comes from the power of falling wall another 20% comes from coal but our greatest source of energy is petroleum petroleum oil and natural gas supplying 3/4 of all the energy we [Music] use but petroleum is hidden deep below the Earth's surface we can chart where it might be but the only way to know for sure is to cross your fingers grill for it to drill a single well hundreds of tons of structural steel and Machinery diesel engines cement mixers coolers compressors and men to put them together and make them work [Music] week after week day and night rain or cold until finally you hit the place where your scientific instruments your seismographs magnetometers maps and everything else tell you the oil should be and you find nothing a dry hole and there are thousands of them every year so you look somewhere else even under the [Music] ocean the only way to beat the odds to find the hundreds of millions of gallons of liquid energy we need every day is to keep looking and drilling hundreds of millions of gallons to feed the refinery spread across the [Music] nation cities of pipes and Towers where crude oil is broken down into gasoline kerosene oil to generate electricity heating oil jet fuel these are the forces of the 20th century e [Music] [Music] today at the heart of nearly every Endeavor is energy in abundance energy that quickens the heartbeat of our economy safeguards our security and adds a new dimension to our lives [Music] leisure e [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Leisure is a thing of all seasons places all ages but Leisure means more than just having fun our children are no longer forced to work before they're old enough to think they have time to study to learn to contribute [Music] and this in turn enables us to speed our progress even more [Music] of all the scientists and Engineers who ever lived nine out of 10 are living today and there will be even more of them in the years to come [Music] [Music] we have been freed by Abundant energy to work toward an even more promising future to move as far as energy can take us [Music]
