Pandora’s Promise raises awareness about nuclear energy, its systems, and how it works in the past, present, and future. The movie outlines the importance of Nuclear energy which has being dramatize as something like a weapon against the world, and wants now the people to see that is less dangerous and more convenience in the fact of leaving fossil fuels which we see now how their are affecting strongly our environment.
The movie explains that in the next few decades, humankind will need to increase energy production as billions of people in the developing world lift themselves out of poverty and begin to live modern lives. Stressing the use of new energy to be clean and non-CO2 emitting to lower the risk of triggering a devastating global climate catastrophe is a main goal.
Robert Stone, a reporter for CNN, commented on the movie and its motives stating his opinions. Stone opinionated that Edwin Lyman, a scientist whom critically disagrees with the film, and others seem to suggest that nuclear energy is hopeless and that all research and development into its advancement should be abandoned, period, and that we should throw all of our efforts into renewables and energy efficiency alone. Given the overwhelming challenges we face in attempting to power a planet of almost 9 billion people with clean, affordable, non-CO2-emitting energy, that’s about the most irresponsible course of action imaginable.
