I sell here, Sir, what all the world desires to have – Power.

Matthew Boulton, 1776

And power is what you need if you're going to keep a technological society going, so it's no wonder that new sources of energy were always high on the To Do list for Future Past.  No point in putting all your eggs in the atomic basket; keep looking for what it takes to keep the electricity arcing around the lab.   It may be harnessing the Sun, turning the ocean into a giant heat engine, or drawing electricity from the earth, but whatever the source, it's the life's blood of Future Past.

And pedalling that bicycle generator gets to be a bit of a pain after a while, you know.
