核能是邪惡的。太陽能是我們的救星。或者……情況正好相反?今晚(3月9日)晚上 7:00(美國東部時間),德克薩斯大學將舉辦一場有趣的節目,講述電影如何在 70 年來描繪能源,從而塑造公眾輿論和政府政策。 晚會將充滿影片片段、專家辯論和關於能源歷史、技術和政策的幽默片段,您可以在《大眾科學》的影片直播中觀看整個活動直播。直播還將包括我們自己的博主大衛·沃根的即時推文,他將在觀眾席中佔據一個絕佳的位置。

《中國綜合症》(簡·方達、傑克·萊蒙主演)中,潛在的核反應堆堆芯熔燬如何影響公眾對這項技術的看法? 當動畫機器人瓦力(本·貝爾特配音)用太陽能電池板快速為自己充電時,人們是否對太陽能的潛力感到樂觀?

晚會的主持人和講師是邁克爾·韋伯,德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校機械工程助理教授,國際能源與環境政策中心副主任,《大眾科學》顧問。 專家小組包括電影歷史學家查爾斯·拉米雷斯-伯格以及馬修·查普曼,一位編劇和導演(以及查爾斯·達爾文的曾曾孫)。
