DESCRIPTION:This is the 1st in our free film series: The Planet at a Crossroads: 
 Nuclear Disaster or Solartopia?  There will be a potluck at 6, followed by 
 the film at 7, followed by a break for organic desserts & tea, and at 8:30 
 a presentation and discussion with Barbara George. "The China Syndrome" 
 first appeared in theaters on March 16, 1979. In an eerie coincidence, 12 
 days later the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history occurred at Three 
 Mile Island.  The real-life accident was, in many ways, identical to the 
 plot of the movie. An incorrect reading of equipment made the plant's 
 operators think that there was more water covering the core than there 
 actually was--exactly as occurs in the movie. Starring Jane Fonda, Jack 
 Lemmon, and Michael Douglas, the movie was nominated for 4 Academy Awards, 
 and won a top prize at the Cannes Film Festival.\n\nBarbara George is the 
 founder of Women’s Energy Matters (WEM), a group of women and men that 
 work for a rapid transition to a renewable, efficient energy system. WEM is 
 a leading organizer for Marin Clean Energy, the publicly owned "Community 
 Choice" energy program that launched in 2010 and offers nearly twice as 
 much renewable solar and wind power as PG&E, at comparable rates. Barbara 
 has a decade of experience as a "ratepayer advocate" in California Public 
 Utility Commission proceedings, over three decades leadership of successful 
 anti-nuclear campaigns, and an infectious sense of humor.  Her talk will 
 revolve around the proposal WEM filed in CPUC's "Long-Term Procurement" 
 case shortly after Fukushima: for utilities to quit using nuclear power 
 immediately and switch to renewables and energy efficiency.\n\nSponsored by 
 the BFUU Social Justice Ctee as part of our Conscientious Projector 
 Series\nDonations welcomed. No one turned away. \nWheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nPh:510-841-4824\n\nFor occasional email notices of
