Powering America

Pro-Nuclear Conservative Heritage Foundation Propaganda
It takes about 10 minutes for this movie to get to what it wants you think is
its point ... that we need to get past the scary movies, Homer Simpson, and
nuclear accidents and look at the facts.

Then it takes the rest of the time to try to spin the facts in a way that makes
your forget the real obvious bottom line reality of nuclear power. That is that
nuclear power has been with us for about 40 years now and we have had 2
major accidents ... one of them Fukushima in Japan is still a danger and spewing
radioactivity as I write this, over 2 years later, with no clear solution and with
no end in site to the release of radiation worldwide. So, no, let's not forget
the scare stories.

The thing is, I want to support nuclear power. If we could do it as the books say
and execute on it properly it could be the best form of power around. Sure I
would still like to have solar panels on my roof and be energy independent...

Nuclear power industry propaganda film
I am a huge fan of documentaries but this one I found very disappointing. I was hoping for something that discussed how our current power infrastructure is layed out, how it works, what the shortcomings are, and what the future holds. Instead, I got an informercial for the nuclear power industry.
