Research on Cold Fusion

Cold Fusion

For the project we were told we had to make a short film based around a Scenario. We had to crete everything from the script to the camera shots.

Scenario
The UK has just signed a deal with China to build a new Nuclear Power Plant in Bridgehaven at a huge cost to the taxpayer.  Meanwhile, a publicly crowdfunded science laboratory has had a major breakthrough in it’s cold fusion tests - could this be the answer to the world's problems. and ensure that the government's nuclear plans are not scuppered.  

First I wanted to look at what cold fusion was and how it works so that I would have a better understanding when creating my film. Cold fusion is a way that you can create nuclear energy at room tempter. By doing this you would be saving then environment because you wouldn't be burning fossil fuels. It is also a lot cheaper then fossil fuels one gallon of heavy water costs $1000. Heavy water is a key part to cold fusion. The oceans already have heavy water which cold last thousands of years. Also one gallon of heavy water is the equivalent to 300,000 gallons of fossil fuels. It would also have positive affect on the food market. It would reduce food production so food would be cheaper.

However looking at the positives of cold fusion there are some negatives. People would lose there jobs as the coal mines wouldn't be needed as much also nuclear power plants wont be in high demand so there wouldn't need to be as many of them.

Looking at the positives and negatives of cold fusion it really mad me think of what sort of short film I'm going to make, and what sort of charters I'm going to have.
