The movie Pandora’s Promises was a mind blowing film to me. This film pointed out that our deepest fear is the radioactive that will causes cancers even death. In the 1980, nuclear power was never a popular idea people were still questioning about the entire idea. And after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island disasters, it was most certainly sure that people are terrifying and lost its appetite for the stuff.
After 30 years the radiation still at high level.
Tokyo, Japan after the Fukushima disaster the level is rising. But the wind brought the radiation to the other side of the planet.
After the disaster the radiation pass thought the pacific ocean.
Although our fear to the nuclear power plant is about the radiation but there are some facts that we need to know. In the stats it shows that no one has actually died in the United States as a consequence of a nuclear power accident, while coal kills more than 14,000 people a year most of them die from pollution. Nuclear is scary, but it kills fewer people per watt of power than coal, oil, and even solar. Chernobyl, took 30 years ago, the worst nuclear accident in history, though it killed many people at the time, it has had surprisingly limited long-term effects, according to scientists. Chernobyl as Hell on earth, most people would agree when they know about the disaster. But within these few years animals and people are actually living there again there are animal activities on the place but the radiation ,as we can see from the above picture, is still at the background. The film is focus on a new breed of scientists and environmental activists, they now believes that there are no other options. Now a day people are deciding between the green energy or reliable and efficient but dangerous source.
The main point of Pandora’s Promise is that recently people starts to noticed how huge the gap between fossil fuels and renewables energy is. Electricity is the one thing that we can not live without, and it increase the quality of our lives. With the growing development of the technology the need for energy is only to rise; energy consumption of the planet is expected to double by 2050.
Watching this film is uncomfortable, also shocking. Because I had ideas about how bad and how terrible the nuclear energy is. But this file changes lots of ideas that I once believe in. It seems like the nuclear energy is not as bad as we think. Personally, I found out that it can consider as “Green” energy. And also the effect is not as bad as we think it is, during the Fukushima disaster people were killed. But most of them are from the Tsunami or injury. This makes me have changed my opinions about the nuclear energy.
