核能是邪恶的。太阳能是我们的救星。或者……情况正好相反?今晚(3月9日)晚上 7:00(美国东部时间),德克萨斯大学将举办一场有趣的节目,讲述电影如何在 70 年来描绘能源,从而塑造公众舆论和政府政策。 晚会将充满视频片段、专家辩论和关于能源历史、技术和政策的幽默片段,您可以在《大众科学》的视频直播中观看整个活动直播。直播还将包括我们自己的博主大卫·沃根的实时推文,他将在观众席中占据一个绝佳的位置。

《中国综合症》(简·方达、杰克·莱蒙主演)中,潜在的核反应堆堆芯熔毁如何影响公众对这项技术的看法? 当动画机器人瓦力(本·贝尔特配音)用太阳能电池板快速为自己充电时,人们是否对太阳能的潜力感到乐观?

晚会的主持人和讲师是迈克尔·韦伯,德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校机械工程助理教授,国际能源与环境政策中心副主任,《大众科学》顾问。 专家小组包括电影历史学家查尔斯·拉米雷斯-伯格以及马修·查普曼,一位编剧和导演(以及查尔斯·达尔文的曾曾孙)。
