Description

The Dinosaur’s inability to adapt to changing circumstances led to its extinction. Asking whether we, too, are going the way of the dinosaur, this animated film looks at the history of energy sources. It illustrates the variety in common use before the present era, the transitions to new and more efficient sources which made a wider range of activities possible, and our increasing dependence on a single non-renewable source: oil.
