This week's stamps are from the 1982 World's Fair, held in Knoxville, TN. The theme of 1982's expo was "Energy Turns the World," as evidenced by illustrations in the stamps.

I grew up in Nashville, and while we didn't end up making it over to the fair, I have very clear memories of the TV ads, especially the YOU'VE GOT TO BE THERE! at the end.
I'm also a big fan of the Sunsphere, built for the fair and still standing in Knoxville:
