įinanced in part by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the series appeared on PBS. The three directors worked with cinematographers including Cathy Olian, Joel deMott, Jeff Kreines, Ross McElwee, Michel Negroponte, and longtime associate Nick Doob. The series was shot over a two-year period, in Washington, DC, but also in Texas, California, and wherever else the story took the filmmakers. Over the following days, a counter filibuster begins.
Two Senators, Howard Metzenbaum and James Abourezk, announce a filibuster to overturn the results. It passed by a vote of 52–48, thanks largely to votes from representatives of energy-producing states like Louisiana. One segment, Part 2: Filibuster, focuses on Part D of Statute 1469, which would end government regulation of natural gas prices. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, and Pat Powell, the series provided an unprecedented look at the inner workings of government. Originally released in 1978 as a three-part, five-hour series, The Energy War follows the passage of a key piece of President Jimmy Carter’s energy bill.
