Who's Afraid of Nuclear Power

Fossil fuels are under attack from every direction: oil prices climbing, warnings about global warming piling up daily, and the nuclear industry stepping into the gap with a simple pitch, that it already has the clean energy answer everyone else is scrambling to find. This film examines that claim, weighing the promise of nuclear power against the fears that have followed it since Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. It brings together industry figures making the case for reactors as a practical bridge away from coal and oil, alongside the economic pressures pushing governments to reconsider a technology many had written off. The film treats the debate as an economic and political calculation as much as a scientific one, tracking how rising fuel costs and climate anxiety have reopened a question that seemed settled. It does not resolve the argument so much as lay out why the nuclear option keeps resurfacing whenever the alternatives look worse, and what the public still has to be convinced of before it becomes acceptable again.
