A fast-paced montage near the beginning of the film takes us on a stylized, whirlwind trip through recorded civilization, showcasing the ever-changing role energy has played through the centuries. An Exxon service station sign protrudes prominently above the homes of a small, early 20th century town near the end of the "history of civilization" montage. "So here we are today!" "Solar mirrors are one way to convert the sun's energy into electricity." On an interesting note, this aerial view of the Solar One facility was taken directly from a scene featured in the original Theater II film. "Today, we're using the clean energy of moving air, wind, to generate electricity." "I'm guessing this big red rock isn't gonna give us energy when we need it." "No, but this big gray wall might!" "We've already used many of the best sites. And sometimes building a dam can be pretty hard on an ecosystem." "That's great, Bill. But we still need a heck of a lot more energy. Where is it coming from? And do you have a curling iron?" "What is black gold? Texas tea. Swimmin' pools. Movie stars. What is the Beverly Hillbillies? I mean, what is oil?" "Satellites are one of the tools we use in our search for hidden deposits. But there are others." "Most new discoveries will come from once inaccessible or hard to reach places" "Oh, great. Just what our nightmare needs. A big ol' human-munchin', bone-crunchin', Ellen-lunchin' shark."
