As the cost of gas skyrocketed last year, we wondered how high it would go before people began to change their behavior. We decided to capture on video how people kept adapting as prices climbed—peaking at three times what they were 10 years ago.

Now the high prices are gone, and so are the headlines and complaints at the pump. But the energy crisis is real. It isn't about the price of gas. It is about limited resources and environmental damage. It's about consumption, and our own complacency and resistance to change. It's a story about us, really—a story of a major threat to our long term survival, and our children's. When it comes to energy, we're chasing an unsustainable model. We need to meet the challenge of the future through innovation, discipline, and investments in new forms of energy production. We've seen an idea that was hatched in a single garage change the world, so we know it can happen. When the crisis inevitably heats up again, will we respond?
