Pandora’s Promise – Official Clip #1 (HD) Documentary
– “Pandora’s Promise” – Official Clip #1
Impact Partners presents PANDORA’S PROMISE, the groundbreaking new film by Academy-Award®-nominated director Robert Stone. The atomic bomb and meltdowns like Fukushima have made nuclear power synonymous with global disaster. But what if we’ve got nuclear power wrong? An audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, PANDORA’S PROMISE asks whether the one technology we fear most could save our planet from a climate catastrophe, while providing the energy needed to lift billions of people in the developing world out of poverty. In his controversial new film, Stone tells the intensely personal stories of environmentalists and energy experts who have undergone a radical conversion from being fiercely anti- to strongly pro-nuclear energy, risking their careers and reputations in the process. Stone exposes this controversy within the environmental movement head-on with stories of defection by heavyweights including Stewart Brand, Richard Rhodes, Gwyneth Cravens, Mark Lynas and Michael Shellenberger.

All research made by Monsanto (The GMO makers) Show that there is no side efects of GMO foods. However, all these guys have scientists who check on the food they fgrow, themselfs, to make surre there is no GMO spread in it.
Allso, ALL GMO researtch made by other people then Monsanto, show that GMO foods KILL any animal line within 3-5 generations. it allso gives stuff like cancer with in dayd of testing on Rats.
Just do a google seartch on this stuff and you'll unerstand
Wake up more people man, were closing in on a mass-awakening.
Ok, you made the claim. Now give me the pubmed for the study so I can read it.
"Just do a google seartch on this stuff and you'll unerstand"
I just did a google search, couldn't find your study.
You have read it and you quoted the results…. so just give me the pubmed so I can read this study.
because if we pretend that everything's going to be just fine, what do we do when we hit a worse case scenario? what if all these fears come true and we've ignored them because it's too pessimistic to do otherwise?
You made a 1 minute seartch….
this is not someting you will find in a second. this is the kinda of stuff your leaders dont want you to read about. Dont you know the Search engines are designed to bring selective stuff in the bars?
I can search it up for you, but at least spend an hour on it, befor you give up. otherwise you wont even care when i do bring it up.
I have looked for an hour, still can't find it.
If you know where the study is, just post the pubmed, makes it pretty easy……
Unless of course you where lying.
movie looks interesting im sure if i could find a stable resource top notch scientists can
As a form of energy, nuclear has caused the fewest fatal accidents by whole orders of magnitude, and the waste is far more storable and controlled (and therefore less polluting – it is solid) than from any fossil fuel-based energy (gaseous or sometimes liquid). The problem is the government/corporate unwillingness to advance the technology into more efficient forms such as molten salt reactors: v=uK367T7h6ZY
well that does sound nice and well. but 2 things what happend at chernobyl? and if they can refine it.. im just guessing that will mean worse government weapons.
also didnt the whole nuke research start as a weapon, then they started to harness the power? lol
im all down for clean energy! and i know first hand even at coal plants u will have ur dumbasses that CAUSE accidents so lets hope for the best. i feel lame just saying hope, like if i could do anything i would.
So basically we're going to end up looking like Coruscant
well we have an option getting that energy….. SPACE.
Well if a huge increase of energy use from developing countries does occur, wouldn't it be at there risk since there'd probably be enough clean energy for countries who invest so wisely while the rest of the world are in the dark?
*Globe rotates as talk of energy need increases*
Asia: many more lights than now
Eurasia: many many many more lights
South America: lots more lights, especially on coastlines
North America: ONE GIANT GLOWING LIGHT
so
You could say that, and nuclear energy is by many definitions "clean". That's the point.
As in renewable and sustainable energy. I'm sure there are many variants of 'clean' energy.
I am not advocating that we ignore it, but what if we are so focused on our problems that we ignore our own accomplishments. There must be balance with everything. Let's focus on both, what we have accomplished so far and what we have yet to accomplish. This movie focus on we have yet to accomplish, which i didn't like.
True, who's to say we are not already doing it right now. I hope the movie highlights that too.
One small part of a solar wind would fuel humanities need for power for like a year.
We just need some way to store and transport that energy from space to earth without power loss or danger to the planet.
Any borderlands fans here??
*raises hand*
wow what a glittering planet this will be, amazing!
…i got this reply from you in my inbox…u have since removed it…and gotta ask wtf?..who the hell or what the hell were u trippin on "bra"? lol…and were the fuck can i get some..must be some powerful shit!!
THE PROBLEM IS dumb fuckers like you!! just cause u MIGHT not die from it u dont give a fuck about the future. well ya know what just fucking shot ur self in the face bra. i wish a type of Hitler was around now just to kill fucktards like u. and your whole fucking kind.
your a wierd motherfucker aint cha? wow…just looked at ur comments and shit on ur page! trip on you dude LOL!!!
So, 2100 Earth will look like Corosant.
Atomic energy is not the solution.
What are you going to do with the nuclear waste? The reprocessing of nuclear waste is not cost effective, so you store it for hundreds of thousands of years in a waste disposal site, usually underground. What if it caves in? What if the waste reaches the groundwater?
Solar, wind and water are the only solution.
I'll give you a spoiler for the movie: Thorium
right. because thorium reactors can 100%ly process all spend fuel rods cost-effectively.

"LFTR in 5 Minutes"
Enjoy!
that still doesn't counter my previous post one bit. It is just a more effecient reactor type.
go look up is nuclear waste really waste, second change reactor design, Uranium plutonium fuel cycle are extremely wasteful and dangerous (the reactor its self, look at fukashima) The Uranium thorium fuel cycle in a liquid salt reactor burns up 99% of the fuel and the other 1% can be used for medical proposes or for space exploration. Not all nuclear is bad.
bullshit. Even a Thorium reactor produces nuclear waste that has to be stored, even if it is in far smaller quantities than that of uranium-plutonium fuel cycles.
yes, but that little waste that is left can be repurposed for medical uses and space exploration. Also Nuclear power produces fuck loads of power and liquid salt reactors can be operated any where in the universe, these "green" energies cannot, and they have low yields. Honestly a little nuclear waste isn't an issue let alone that we can recycle it. Did you ever stop the think of the waste solar panels and wind turbines make when they're decommissioned? may not be radioactive but still a hazard.
so you are telling me that 100% of the reactor's byproducts can be recycled or used elsewhere and not a single ounce of radioactive waste need to be sealed off in containers nuclear disposal zones? I'm going to need proof for that.
Their is still a very small amount left, but its easy to dispose of underground. Compare that to the "green" power which leaves plastics and metal that take centuries to decay compared to some simple metals which are originally found in the earth crust its a no brainier. You need to understand that all power has waste, long term isotopes aren't even dangerous to humans, its the short lived ones that are.
how much smaller is the waste product compared to the amount a regular uranium-plutonium reactor produces? 90%? 50%?
it produces 1/3 the waste as I recall, and of that 1/3 the vast majority is isotopes that can be used in medical treatments but have a short half life so aren't dangerous for long if unused, the second product has a very long half life and is perfect for providing heat on long space voyages. Visit energy from thorium's website for a full run down.
okay, thanks. are there any currently operating thorium reactors in the world?
Not exactly, in the 60s they ran a LFTR reactor succesfully for 6 years until it got defuneded by Nixon. Currently India is working on retrofitting their Uranium-Plutonium reactors with Thorium but its only slightly more efficient and still produces a fair bit of waste, China is working on building LFTR reactors tho so its a wait and see. The proofs and ground work where done long ago and we know its viable but fat cats don't think its profitable and you can't build nukes out of the waste.
Maybe you've seen the same documentaries as I have 🙂 I really hope China succeeds but in the meantime I try not to get my hopes up too big.
Really looking forward to see this film, i don't think it will change my mind and make me see nuclear as THE solution (which i doubt it will even make) but i too have as suspicion that especially as an intermediate, towards truly renewable, nuclear might be a big and necessary help. Also, not all renewable energy is green either.
If every country has nuclear power plants and you dont think there will be nuclear accidents your a idiot. And nuclear accidents ruin the world pretty much forever. If you stay near chernobyl or fukoshima for few month ull get cancer and die.
obviously, the truth aint in em'. We will have no idea what they are doing behind that fence, or what is spewing into the air and water, This magic reactor stuff is balogna.

I realize this is a bit of a side issue, but I've just got to say, there's no reason we need to illuminate the night on the scale the we do. People install new lights and leave them running all night every night as if the benefit to doing so were self-evident, but when you actually look at the imagined vs. the actual benefits of all this lighting, it turns out that there is a huge reality gap.

"Economics professor John Quiggin comments that Pandora’s Promise presents the environmental rationale for nuclear power, but that reviving nuclear power debates is a distraction, and the main problem with the nuclear option is that it is not economically-viable. Quiggin says that we need more energy efficiency and more renewable energy commercialization."
