Debut of Oliver Stone's NUCLEAR NOW!

Finally, the Venice Film Festival gave a public screening of Oliver Stone's movie Nuclear NOW! about the low carbon, affordable, reliable energy that captures ALL of its waste and disposes of it SAFELY.

Stone dispels the plethora of myths and misinformation that dances around nuclear power. This film takes a close look behind the exaggerations and lies about nuclear perpetuated by mass media.

There's a nuclear resurgence in response to the Ukraine invasion and tangible undeniable climate change. Nuclear power is the fastest, cheapest and most reliable way to quickly de-carbonize the planet.

We are hungry for electricity to fuel the world. Wind and solar are NOT up to the challenge. Do some reading and pull back the curtain from the Wizard of Solar and Wind and discover there's no magic. Without subsidies from us - taxes, subsidies, electric bill fees - wind/solar do not make sense. Without the fossil fuel backup of GAS, wind/solar are useless because they are intermittent. Without communicators like Oliver Stone, the incredible power of nuclear to save the planet goes under the radar, shunned, misunderstood a

Watch Oliver Stone's movie! Do some reading - Gwyneth Cravens' book, Power to Save the World, A Bright Future by Goldstein and Qvist. Tune into some podcasts - Nuclear Barbarian, Titans of Nuclear, Decouple and Power Hungry. Then talk about it. Get a group of friends together to watch NUCLEAR NOW!and Robert Bryce's movie JUICE, free on YouTube. More than half of Americans are secretly in favor of safe modern nuclear power.

In Riddles Island, my futuristic novel set in 2111, Ridlets use nuclear powered electricity from a Thor, the size of a large vacuum cleaner or a portable compressor. Nuclear energy is just one aspect of the adventure story amid the backdrop of the collapse of international capitalism, climate change and gender neutral characters who use my invented universal pronouns of e (she - he) and mer (him - her). According to Kirkus Reviews, "This visionary glimpse into humankind’s potential future is an absolute must-read for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction."

An old favorite. Mattel sued the Body Shop for this poster and won. Teenagers used to come into our home, look at it and say GROSS!

Apparently the new line of Barbies has different body shapes. Why do we obsess so much about our bodies and our looks? Are we that vain?

The post gender characters in my novel have no breasts and they don't care much about what's in your pants. It's complex down there!

The guiding light: Go past labels and appearance to love who you want.
