Nuclear disasters, wars over oil and gas, climate change and ever-increasing energy consumption: We have reached an important crossroads. To keep on going like this is not an option.

From the perspective of those affected as well as of pioneers and critics, this film documents the desperate attempts to tap the planet’s last oil and gas deposits and to conceal the risks of nuclear energy.
