Atomic Bamboozle: The False Promise of a Nuclear Renaissance | Official Trailer

As political pressure mounts in the US to meet net zero carbon goals, the nuclear power industry makes its case for a nuclear “renaissance.” This documentary by NECESSITY director Jan Haaken follows activists as they expose the true costs of the new small nuclear reactor designs.

Jan Haaken is a professor emeritus of psychology at Portland State University, a clinical psychologist, an author, and a documentary filmmaker.

Haaken has published extensively in the areas of psychoanalysis and feminism, the history of psychiatric diagnosis, the psychology of storytelling, group responses to violence, and the dynamics of social change. From refugee camps, war zones, abortion clinics, and asylums to drag bars, dairy farms, and hip-hop clubs, her projects focus on people who inhabit the border zones of society and their insights into the broader social order.

"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future".
