A promenade deck leads visitors gently down from the Energy Demand exhibition level to the Energy Suppy level--a plethora of sights and sounds that engulf the senses and pull visitors into a fascinating tour of specialized tools, sophisticated equipment, in-depth knowledge and innovative ideas that Americans use to supply the nation's energy needs.

The Energy Supply area is "The Energy Place's" main and largest exhibition level--9,000 square feet of displays all devoted to showing how America finds, obtains and transports the energy her people need. The exhibits even include a look to the future as a robot named Quadracon roams the entire exhibit space interplaying with visitors.

Nine glass towers stretch from floor to ceiling to represent and demonstrate nine energy sources used in America--coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, biomass, hydropower, solar, geothermal and electricity.

An ever-changing multi-media presentation depicts geographically our nation's abundant energy resources. It shows both what they are and where they can be found.

A timeline curve, composed of 18 towers, sweeps jaggedly to a height of 27 feet to present a three dimensional panorama of America's energy mix as it has changed from 1800 to the present(1982).

These three fascinating exhibits are just a few of the sights, sounds and excitement that greet "The Energy Place's" visitors as they step off the escalators 70 feet above ground. At this level, the visitor learns the basics of energy in America in preparation for a journey through time... a journey through America's energy story.
