I recently saw the film Avatar and also an interview with James Cameron the director on CBC. He recently toured the Alberta Oil sands and said he supports Nuclear as a means of easing up on the environmental damage. During the interview there was a comparison to the film. The native territories that are plundered were being called Pandora’s like in the film. So it seems Nuclear energy can also help save the destruction of the atmosphere and scarring of the Pandora’s of this Earth. Cameron refers to the idea of using Nuclear as a bridge to preventing climate change.

“…I’m pro-nuclear, yeah, in this particular context, as a bridge to a fully sustainable future. I think the waste problem is a 500 year horizon, I think the warming problem is a 10 to 15 year horizon…”

He see’s the urgency of cleaner solutions as the priority because time is running out. Like in a recent article I read the earth is not like the Titanic. When a ship sinks you can make another. We only have one planet.
