There is a nuclear plant near me (that I used to work at) which was shut down in the mid-late 1980s. Rumor has it they have reapplied to the NRC for a operating license and now intend to complete it.

(2) 500MW reactors. Plus JOBS!

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

My take on the film in general:

I cannot argue with the information presented; it appears to be factual on the surface. However, if someone is watching it to find out the scientific details, they will be disappointed. There are supporting scientific interviews to set the stage for the producers' claims, but that is about it.

Instead, this centers around the conspiracy issue. It shines a bright light onto those who would instigate carbon Cap & Trade, and explains probable events that would result. I especially liked the way they tied this into the debacle over DDT, in that the same people who advise us now that we must ban fossil fuels are the ones who managed to get DDT banned and thereby caused the suffering and death of millions of third-world children.

In the end, this was about what I expected, an attack on propaganda using propaganda. The same sympathy ploys used in An Inconvenient Truth were utilized: musical scores, camera positioning to cause emotional responses, specific stories of those affected, told in an emotional way. The difference is that while I did not believe for one second that Mr. Gore had anyone's best interests at heart, save himself, I do believe these people are sincere. I also believe their predictions to be accurate.

To be fair, this could be in no small part due to the fact that I live close enough to Tennessee to actually be familiar with the Gore family's history. It is extremely storied and elitist.

I enjoyed it. I hope more people see it.

I'm glad I caught the Q&A at the end, I wonder if any of it will be made part of the DVD.

I didn't really expect any new science to be brought forth, but I like their thinking in that most people won't have the time or patience to learn and pour over all the facts and data sets available to offer convincing talking points.

While they're attempting to wake up the average picket fence owning "movie goer", you can bet your life they wont get the Nobel prize and overwhelming back patting from the media circus that Inconvenient Truth got.

Well, there is a 'contributors' link on the screenshot of the Special Features menu, so maybe...

You know, if I were to receive word tomorrow that I had been awarded the Nobel Prize, I would probably just tell 'em to send it to me if they wanted. It wouldn't be worth the trip to accept it. I have a feeling I am not alone in considering the Nobel Prizes as nothing more than Oscars for people who can't act.

That's sad, because I used to admire the ones who were deemed worthy of winning such an honor of recognition.

In order for something to be considered an honor, it must be honorable. The decision to give one to Yassir Arafat and now to Barrack Obama means they now hold no honor in my mind, not because I disagreed with those two examples, but because they had done nothing whatsoever to merit it. So it's no longer a big deal.
