I just saw Pandora's Promise, by Robert Stone, an environmentalist who has in
the past been active in anti-nuclear energy protests. He got convinced
otherwise and has made this docu. It features info and also interviews with
several environmentalists who have educated themselves and changed their minds
about nuclear energy. Stuart Brand (Whole Earth catalogue) is one and so is
Mark Lynas, who wrote the book Six Degrees in 2007. I have mentioned that book
here several times - terrific and accessible read about climate change. Lynas
was anti nuclear for years - and now changed his mind. A worthwhile movie to
see - and while I am not at all an expert on nuclear power, it made a really
good case for the positives. It also seems that there is a type of nuclear
power (IFR) that produces waste that is recyclable by the nuclear plant itself.
The safeguards on these are also incredible.
