"Energv Turns the World" is the theme of The 1982
world's Fair.
It was chosen as a counterpoint to that negative
"Energy a catch phrase of the Crisis," 1970s - the projection doom-and-gloom cast the that world into a
shadoWV and uncertain future.
Through focusing on the energy question and the
creative energv of humankincl, the Fair will demon-
strate that tomorrow can bring new answers and a
new quality of life.
Energy touches every aspect it is of life - whether production the of food or the manufacture of
products. Despite this clependence, people are often
unaware of energy's major role in their lives due to the
separation of the common man from high technology
and manufacturing processes. This tends to engender a
sense of isolation...a feeling that energy problems are
remote and bevond one's control.
The 1982 World',s Fair, by giving a new understanding
of energy, its wiser use and more efficient production,
can help. lt can help promote new and higher stan-
dards of life in less developecl countries while main-
taining high standarcls in nations that now enjoy them.
Knoxville is an especially appropriate site for a world's
fair with an energy theme. One of the world's great
energy centers, it is home of the Tennessee valley
Authority, the nation's largest public utility; the oak
Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Ten-
nessee, which conducts extensive energv research.
These institutions, along with the U.s. Department of
Energy and a number of leading national corporations,
are joining the Fair in sponsoring an international
energy symposia series clesigned to spawn new
solutions to the worlcl's energv problems.
The three-part series brings together a body of in-
ternational experts to analyze and define energy
problems, to consider energy options and to reach a
consensus on those with greatest promise for the
future.
1851 Every world's fair - from the first in London in 1974 to the most recent in spokane, wash. in - nas marked been in science, by innovations the ar- arts,
chitecture and commerce.
The 1867 World',s Fair in Paris introduced aluminum
and natural gas heat, as well as the first ice cream soda
and the first departn'lent store. Inventors displayecl the
telephone, wpewriter and elevator at The 1876 World',s
Fair in Philadelphia. Exhibitors demonstrated television
for the first time to the public in The 1939 World's Fair
in New York ciw.
History may be macle again in Knoxville.
By providing a showcase where nations, states, in-
dustries and organizations may address the energv
concerns of humankind. The 1982 World's Fair marks a
turning point in the understanding of energy.

U.S. Senator
Jim sasser
It is my pleasure as a u.s. senator from Tennessee to wish you a fun-filled and
interestihg visit. The 1982 world's Fair afforcls you a wonderful assortment of
entertainment and educational exhibits which relate to the energy
achievements and needs of countries throughout the worlcl.
You will enjoy sampling the cultures and the foods of people from around
the gfobe. I believe the Fair represents a great step forward in relating im-
as energy - to a truly unique variety of en- portant public concerns - such tertainment and exhibits.
Again, welcome to The 1982 World's Fair. I hope you also have the time to
visit other major tourist attractions in every section of the state, beginning
with the oreat Smoky Mountains nearby.
Tennessee is a great state for fun. Have a good time.
Jim Sasser

U.S. Representative
John Duncan
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to East Tennessee and
The '1982 World',s Fair.
This region has a reputation for its beauty and its people's hospitality, both of
which I am sure Vou will enjoy during your stay here.
We take pride in our surroundings and achievements, and we are more than
happy to share them with you. The people of this area have been preparing for
this historic event since 1974, and finally their labors have borne fruit.
The energy theme provides a common thread tying together the manv
diverse and international exhibits at this exposition. There will be at least 21
nations participating including, for the first time at any worlcl's fair since 1904,
the People's Republic of china.
I hope vou will be both enlightened and entertained by The 1982 world's Fair
and leave with pleasant memories and thoughts of returning to this unique
region of our country.

am truly proud of their accomplishments and feel honored to be part of this
worldwide event that the Knoxville community is hosting.
Just as in past great world's fairs, where nations have joined together to
share with the world their unique cultural heritages and technological
developments, so it is in Knoxville where the international community will
explore and exchange the inventions of science and the splendid creativity of
human energy. Together we will make The 1982 world's Fair a remarkable and

Prevent us from uslng all our vast
remaining fossil energy reserves.
So how can the world deal with this
threefold oroblem?
The first major answer is con-
servation, using less energv. This does
not mean living less comfortablv; it
means getting more use out of a
given amount of energv bY wasting
less and using it more efficiently. lt is
accomplished by more fuel-efficient
cars, better-insulated buildings, more
efficient machines and appliances, less
fertilizer and fuel-intenslve
agriculture, and the like.
Higher prices have already caused
much of this to happen in the united
states. In the decade from 1970 to
1980, energv use rose less than half as
much as the increase in the Gross
National Product. Most experts believe
that much more can still be achieved
so that energv growth can continue
to be slowed down.
Here, each inclividual can do much
to help since the ultimate result
depends on millions of decisions and
actions bV home-owners, consumers
and workers.
The other Part of the answer is new
technologv. The kev concept is sub-
energv scarce stitution - replaeing alternatives with plentiful (oil and gas)
(uranium, deuterium, coal, oil shale
and solar). This is where much of the
scientific and technical challenges lie.
This list barelv scratches the surface.
The energv future offers a limitless
perspective of new technologies, new
opportunities for involverhent by all
of us, new global interdependences,
new ways of living in harmonv with
our earth. The 1982 World's Fair Casts
a light into that future bv which we
can glimpse its Promise.
