'''Energy Warning''' is track number 11 on the [[Geogaddi]] album.  The bulk of the track is a sample of an 1979 public information advert on the topic of energy conservation by the North American youth organisation, 4-H.

''Energy is becoming one of our countries greatest concerns, if we don't start working on energy conservation there may not be enough energy to go around by the time i'm a parent. We're going to learn about how we can solve some of our problems through alternative energy sources. You can learn more about energy too - call your county cooperative extension service for more information. Conserving energy is everyones responsibility. Call 4-H to find out how you can do your part.''

* The beggining of the track is sampled from the 1991 documentary [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101853/ The Falls]<ref>{{#ev:youtube|UGrNQcPLwWE|480||||start=0|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14677</ref> at 50:18. The helicopter heard right afterwards is possibly used throughout the rest of the song too.

* The garbled burbling noise heard on the track sounds similar to the "Havana Gurgler", a shortwave radio jamming station used by the Cuban government to render the unwelcomely democratic Radio Marti unlistenable.<ref>http://www.cvni.net/radio/nsnl/nsnl074/nsnl74vm.html</ref>
