Pretend environmentalists join nuclear lobby in film Pandora’s Promise

As stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant continues to spew radioactive water, and teeters still on the brink of a new catastrophe –   the nuclear lobby comes up with a new campaign.  It is spearheaded by this propaganda film – “Pandora’s Promise”.

This is a good occasion for the usual suspects –  pretend environmentalists, vested nuclear interests (Bill Gates, Paul Allen), mainstream cinema reviewers , to praise this nuclear advertising “documentary”.

This film’s lies go beyond its deceptions about ionising radiation, and about safety, and about nuclear waste disposal.

The main selling point – “nuclear power as cure for global warming”  is absurd, as the world would need 11,000 nuclear power plants quickly set up, to have any impact on global warming – and that would in fact take decades to set up.

Other lies – the denial of nuclear power’s costs, and of the costs of nuclear waste disposal, and of the costs of security. Also denial of the complete impracticality and cost of setting up thousands of mini nuclear reactors.  http://www.beyondnuclear.org/storage/pandoras-false-promises/Aug23_2013_Pandora’s%20False%20Promises.pdf
