Energy Quest is the
award-winning
energy education website of the California Energy
Commission. It debuted on the World Wide Web on October 1,
1995, to celebrate October as National Energy Awareness
Month! Our newly updated version (EQ v. 2.0) debuted Memorial Day,
May 27, 2002.
Energy is an integral part of our daily lives. Without
energy our society would decay into pre-historic savagery.
Teaching an "energy ethic" to conserve finite resources is
essential to our energy future, which is currently dependent
on fossil fuels. We also must rely on our youth to
help us create new ways to harness the elemental forces of
our planet and the universe. They are tomorrow's scientists
and inventors. They will discover new means of energy production
and innovative ways to use less energy. We hope Energy
Quest will answer their questions and spur creativity
and imagination.
Albert Einstein once said:
"Imagination is more important than knowledge for
knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the
entire world - stimulating progress, giving birth to
evolution."
Information on our site was developed and maintained by
the Media & Public Communications Office of the Commission
in consultation with Commission staff and educational
experts. We appreciate comments, constructive critcism,
and corrections.
Energy Quest is dedicated to the memory of former Energy Commission Chairman
Charles R. "Chuck" Imbrecht,
whose vision of a secure energy future and desire to educate the public
lives on in this site.
