Alternative energy

The item is a composite print of an industrial film made in 1974. It depicts the B.C. Alternative Energy Show at the 1974 Pacific National Exhibition. Excerpts from the public seminars are shown, along with scenes of exhibits, displays and demonstrations dealing with energy conservation and alternative energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.), electric vehicles, appropriate technology, and so on.

British Columbia Hydro : two television spots

The item consists of a composite print of a film reel of television commercials from 1975 and 1976. It includes two 60-second television spots promoting B.C. Hydro. The first, "Environmental Resources," profiles the work of Hydro's Environmental Resources Department. The second, "Sunrise," is a general spot promoting the reliability of Hydro's service, and emphasizing the need to use energy wisely.

Doing more with less

The item is a release print of an educational film from 1982. "This film, of special interest to people in business, shows ways to cut energy costs by making plants and buildings more energy efficient. It deals mainly with setting up an Energy Management Program for 'doing more with less'." (BC Hydro Film Catalogue, 1985.)

Energy crisis

The item is a documentary made by the CBC around 1980. Canada requires 1.8 million barrels of oil each day. To reduce its dependency on Middle East oil reserves, there is a goal to become energy self-sufficient in 10 years. Also discusses the Tar Sands reserves, and the threat to world peace over the oil supply. British Columbia's forest industry contributes to the fact that it is the most energy-wasteful province. Use of hog fuel (wood waste). Includes interviews with Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, Imperial Oil president Jim Livingstone, and economist John Heliwell.

Energy in British Columbia : past, present and future, and some of the options

Operation update : energy blueprint for the eighties : [long version]

The item is a release print of an industrial film from 1981. In it, B.C. Hydro president J. Norman Olsen introduces a look at Hydro's strategies for meeting B.C.'s energy needs in the 1980s. The film considers the limited options for future hydro-electric development, low-water problems, load growth projections, and the promotion of energy conservation and more careful energy use during winter peak hours. Several forthcoming or proposed B.C. Hydro projects are discussed, including the Cheekye-Dunsmuir submarine power cable; the Site C development on the Peace River; the Hat Creek coal project; proposals for hydro-electric developments on the Stikine, Iskut and Liard Rivers; high-voltage transmission experiments, inert-gas switching systems, and other R&D projects; the Meager Creek geothermal project; and studies for a natural gas pipeline to Vancouver Island. Also discussed: Hydro rail operations; financing of Hydro projects; Hydro's growing demand for skilled personnel in specific fields and trades. The discussion of specific projects is illustrated with footage of the project or its physical setting, and there is especially good footage of the Stikine, Iskut and Liard River areas.

The EE zone

The item is a release print of an educational film from 1983. "A case history of a family who took on the job of locating and eliminating the main sources of heat loss in their home. The step-by-step process of improving their home's energy efficiency is shown in a most informative way." (BC Hydro Film Catalogue, 1985.) "EE" stands for "energy efficient." The film is presented as a parody of the old Twilight Zone TV series, complete with a Rod Serling-type host.

This is an emergency

The item is a documentary made by the National Film Board in 1979. "The energy problem has finally reached our pocketbooks, the point where real solutions have to be found. Industry and citizens must look for ways to conserve energy in order to lower the escalating cost of operating factories, heating homes and transporting people and goods. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY looks at some of the methods used in Sweden and gives practical solutions to the much talked about energy crisis. In an entertaining way, the film delivers important information about controlling energy costs that affect the price of goods we buy." (NFB description)
