Catherine Clifford of CNBC reports on Oliver Stone’s latest movie.
- In his new film, Nuclear Now, Stone makes the case for increasing the use of nuclear power to address climate change.
- Nuclear power is one of the safest energy sources we have and is responsible for fewer deaths per terawatt-hour than coal, natural gas, hydropower, and wind energy.
- To reduce emissions and accelerate human prosperity, lawmakers must reduce barriers to expand our share of nuclear power.
“In the movie, Stone presents a case that the beneficial potential of nuclear energy has not been reached because society conflated its collective fear of nuclear bombs with nuclear energy. In the film, which Stone narrates, he says he was anti-nuclear because he generally absorbed the environmentalist anti-nuclear agenda that has been spread for generations.”
