The movie Pandora's Promise was shown to the world on CNN Tonight. The movie makes a great case for nuclear as the the only viable option to fight catastrophic climate change and pollution of Earth. It follows the life of hard core prominent environmentalists and how they turned to nuclear energy as they learned more about our choices. After the showing there was a discussion on Anderson Cooper 360 about the film with 4 guests.
Positive opinions

New nuclear is the way to go forward for a cleaner future and we DO have the technology #PandorasPromise

Wind/solar does not provide sustained power. Whats needed to store this power has a greater carbon footprint than nuclear #PandorasPromise

#PandorasPromise Let's follow France's lead on scaling nuclear energy, especially in developing countries w/ increasing access to power

All environmentalists have against nuclear power is fearmongering. Solar and wind simply can't beat #nuclear power #PandorasPromise

@BrettSBurgwin: Nobody can come up with a valid point why we shouldn't use nuclear #PandorasPromise

Definitely did not help her cause // “@kristengreig: This pro-enviro woman sounds ridiculous and very ill informed #pandoraspromise #ac360”

Converting nuclear warheads into nuclear energy for electricity is the smartest scientific move. #pandoraspromise.

Great @CNN documentary #PandorasPromise on nuclear power, reinforced my beliefs. Need to educate the public and remove associated stigma.

Argument against nuclear power is ridiculous, burn coal and climate change will wipe out consumers =less demand #PandorasPromise

Nuclear power is safe and probably the most viable source of energy that can help reduce global warming. #PandorasPromise

We need to learn to think for ourselves. Stop believing others, do your own research and think it through with an open mind #PandorasPromise

#PandorasPromise we could have used e=mc Squared to power the entire planet and instead we built WMD's Why? Money? Protection? Fear?

Fascinating to hear lifelong environmentalists explain why they've done 180s about nuclear power. #PandorasPromise

Nuclear energy is the future!!! #PandorasPromise #Crossfire

Everyone should watch, and take a minute to think about #PandorasPromise on CNN.

#PandorasPromise Wow!!! Cheap, Clean Energy from Nuclear. That tremor you felt was the collective force of every hippie's head exploding!!!

It's great to learn the other side's opinion on an issue #pandoraspromise #nuclearenergy

#PandorasPromise Wow, many environmentalists are very similar to climate change deniers in rejecting science/facts that clash with beliefs.

Critical opinions
On CNN, Shellenberger is talking nonsense that Ralph Nader has stopped nuclear power over 40 years. Economics did. #pandoraspromise

A nuclear disaster in North America is only a matter of time. #PandorasPromise

@lscheele @CNN yes, but some imagery in the film feels slightly neocolonialist to me...#PandorasPromise
— Suzy Hobbs Baker (@popatomicstudio) November 8, 2013
I think bias of #PandorasPromise worked against argument by presenting nuclear as only viable solution which is not entirely true.
— Andrew Porter (@admprtr) November 8, 2013
Hate it that @CNN is framing nuclear power as a right v. left thing. #pandoraspromise
