Review of Nuclear Now (2022) by Seat7A — 02 May 2023

A supremely cogent examination of why nuclear power is the only practical alternative to climate change.

Oliver Stone confronts the misconceptions about nuclear waste, radiation, exposure and reactor meltdowns and shows why nuclear power is, by an order of magnitude, the safest form of electricity generation. He catalogs how a combination of oil and coal companies, self-serving politicians, celebrities, and environmental pressure groups in the 70s and 80s pulled the rug out from under a promising source of carbon free electricity. But this is not the usual Oliver Stone conspiracy story. He offers a hopeful and optimistic view of a potential future where the threat of climate change is gone because society fundamentally shifts its attitude toward nuclear power.

Politician, student, concerned citizen, environmentalist or nuclear skeptic, if you’re concerned about climate change Stone’s documentary will give you hope. “Nuclear Now” stands as an equally powerful and definitive answer to the threats catalogued in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”, which elevated global awareness of this existential threat.
