A dark comedy in the truest sense, this timeless classic took the nation by storm when it first debuted in 1982. The film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of cold-war era paranoia in the United States--artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archives, military training films, and fifties music. Profoundly shocking and perversely topical, THE ATOMIC CAFE craftily captures a panicked nation, offering a fascinating and witty account of life during the atomic age and resulting cold war, when fall-out shelters, duck-and-cover drills, and government propaganda were all a part of our social consciousness. Regarded by critics as a nuclear Reefer Madness and likened to Stanley Kubricks Dr. Strangelove, this profoundly shocking and highly amusing film is a stunner, a gripping account of an unforgettable era and an indisputable must-see for all Americans. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>You Tube<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOUtZOqgSG8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOUtZOqgSG8</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Google Video<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1126269724766604475">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1126269724766604475</a>#<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>----------------------------------------------------------------</span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>---------------------------------------------------------------- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:red'>Anti-Nuke Fact Sheets Galore – Everything you wanted to know about nukes but were afraid to ask<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Nukes and Climate Change<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Radioactive Waste<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Radiation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Alternatives<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>And much more!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.nirs.org/factsheets/fctsht.htm">http://www.nirs.org/factsheets/fctsht.htm</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>----------------------------------------------------------------</span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>---------------------------------------------------------------- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-line-height-alt:15.75pt'><span class=apple-style-span><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#7030A0'>How The World Nuked Itself Over 2,000 Times</span></b></span><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#7030A0'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=right style='text-align:right'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:12.75pt'><span class=apple-style-span>Who needs a wartime nuclear exchange when you have peaceful countries nuking the gamma rays out of their own sovereign territories?

On November 22nd, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission informed OPG that the project would require an Environmental Assessment (EA) in order to receive a license to build. As part of this EA, OPG is required to produce an Environmental Impact Statement that meets all of the requirements laid out in the Guidelines for the Preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement. This measure is to ensure that OPG is aware of and prepared to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of the proposed Nuclear Newbuild at the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant.

The simple solution is to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy and energy efficiency. The study was developed in conjunction with specialists from the German Aerospace Centre and more than 30 scientists and engineers from universities, institutes and the renewable energy industry around the world. It demonstrated that in a world taking serious action on climate change, there is no need for unconventional oil from the tar sands. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><a href="http://hilltimes.com/page/printpage/oilpatch-06-21-2010" target="_blank">http://hilltimes.com/page/printpage/oilpatch-06-21-2010</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>----------------------------------------------------------------</span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>---------------------------------------------------------------- <o:p></o:p></span></p><h1><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:18.0pt;color:#4BACC6;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#4BACC6;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%;mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms:lumm=75000'>Canada to Phase In New Emission Rules for Coal Plants<o:p></o:p></span></h1><p class=indent><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'>Canadian Environment Minister Jim Prentice announced the country will phase in greenhouse-gas emissions standards for coal-powered energy facilities to give the industry time to adopt cleaner technologies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=indent><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'>The government will mandate that traditional coal-fired plants either meet new standards that will be announced next year, or close once they reach the end of their "economic life," Prentice said today in Ottawa.
