After reading your blog I started to think back and I too think that the ignorance of the russian politician was quite deep. <BR/><BR/>I also think this movie was interesting, because it illustrated how energy can be the motivator and cause behind major governmental and international crises. In this movie, the rise and fall of an entire government was based on the simple need for warmth. It's hard to imagine the US population not being provided with something as simple as warmth, but it does show how together the majority can enact major influence. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I thought it was interesting how they portrayed 'cold fusion'. I thought it was nice that perhaps the movie educated some people as to what the basics behind cold fusion were, but I also thought it was quite ridiculous that the entire secret to creating free energy was kept on a few note cards! I think this concept was harmful for the public to watch because some people may have actually walked away from the movie thinking that it's that simple.<BR/><BR/>well, I'll finish with a quote I hope you like...<BR/>"you don't believe in all this cold fusion mumbo-jumbo do you?"Jrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626295725326954770noreply@blogger.com
