California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore » Blog Archive » PBS’s NOVA covers my stance on nuclear power

Regardless of your opinion about global warming, the fact is that California embarked on a risky course of action in 2006, betting that massive government intervention into the energy markets can reduce greenhouse gas emissions without harming the economy. President Obama is committed to following California’s lead.

The NOVA episode, appropriately named, “California’s Big Energy Gamble,” shows me in three separate segments saying that modern nuclear power is the only way we can produce enough low-emission, reliable, and affordable power to meet our massive greenhouse gas reduction goals. NOVA also shows new Energy Secretary Nobel Prize winning Dr. Steven Chu in full agreement with my position regarding the need for modern nuclear power.

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

An Inconvenient Truth - Review

...An Inconvenient Truth lays out Gore's case: we are now seeing the beginning of a climate crisis that threatens life on Earth as we know it. The on-screen evidence is difficult to dismiss--charts and graphs reveal frightening trends, and the film loses no time showing us the destruction of Hurricane Katrina along with a series of comparative photographs from disappearing glaciers around the world, footage of collapsing ice shelves, data on the record numbers of storms, floods, and other kinds of extreme weather, animations of the effects of rising sea levels, new diseases, photos of dying polar bears and disappearing coral reefs. "A nature hike through the Book of Revelations," Gore calls it.
