content: This subseries consists of storyboards, correspondence, an employment contract, drawings, photographs, video and audio scripts, and a 1974 report (results from a focus group) for Don Herbert's commercial on energy sources for General Electric (GE).  GE produced a television commercial to communicate to the general public that electricity is a form of energy and not a source of energy.  Don Herbert explained the versatility of electric energy by demonstrating how electricity can be made with any of today's fuels. Also included is a film treatment for, Energy of Tomorrow...Here Today, (1975) and 1976 Second Electrical Century Program, (undated) and the agreement between Herbert and GE (1975).
