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.

Biomass prospects

The item is an answer print of an industrial film from 1979. It shows the creation of electrical energy from garbage or forest wastes and gas from fermentation. A fascinating study of the possibilities available to us in the conversion of biomass from a refuse problem into an energy source. The Iona Island Sewage Treatment Plant is featured.

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

The item consists of two 12 minute promotional films on a single video cassette, created for the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources in the 1970s. The first is called Energy in British Columbia : past, present and future and is about energy consumption in British Columbia, and the development of the province's natural energy resources. The second is called Energy in British Columbia : some of the options and is about the importance of energy conservation and efficient energy use, in both residential and industrial settings.

Ocean power

Educational. Proposed methods of harnessing the incredible energy of coastal tides, wave action and ocean currents, and the thermal gradient of warm surface water and cold depths. This film has special application to the B.C. coast and features scenes of familiar areas that have been surveyed for power generation.

Ocean power : [revised version]

The item is a release print of an educational film made in 1979 and revised in 1984. It shows proposed methods of harnessing the incredible energy of coastal tides, wave action and ocean currents, and the thermal gradient of warm surface water and cold depths. This film has special application to the B.C. coast and features scenes of familiar areas that have been surveyed for power generation.

Our solar future

The item consists of an answer print of an educational film from around 1979. It shows the two sides of the solar energy coin: long-range hopes for large-scale generation potential, and the very practical immediate applications for space heating, hot water and small-scale electrical output.

[Premier Bennett re: throne speech]

News item. Premier Bennett talks with press regarding the throne speech. Highlights: (1) No discrimination will be shown towards sellers of Autoplan insurance. Rates will be based on drivers' records. (2) The federal government has been asked by the Socreds to protect the rights of BC, both inside and outside its borders, under the terms of the constitution. (3) The new Social Credit government will make all the decisions that relate to the development of "acceptable" energy resources in BC. Premier Bennett refers to solar energy as one of the "exotic powers", and then says that "We don't have the technology in BC . . . to develop them."

The Earth's furnace

The item is a composite print of a documentary film made around 1979. It shows that B.C. is situated on a line of volcanoes, alive and extinct, that stretch from Mexico to Alaska, and that B.C. Hydro is "getting warm" in its drilling tests to tap this source of geothermal energy.

The wind alternative

The item is an answer print of an educational film from around 1979. It shows that the modern methods of making the wind do useful work may be applied in British Columbia, where we have some of the world's best sites for the application of wind power. The field is open for the invention of better wind machines for generating electricity.

Today's options

The item is an educational film created for the BC Hydro and Power Authority around 1979. Bob Fortune conducts a brief but comprehensive survey of electrical energy options open to British Columbia. Solar, wind and biomass are among the possibilities examined, and well as conventional hydro and thermal generation.
