I watched it. It's very disappointing. Not the movie, but the information it delivers. It made me think about environmental causes in a whole new, much more skeptical way. No power source is perfect (or apparently sustainable/renewable/or even clean) and I'm now convinced that the only way this planet is ever going to survive is if we somehow learn to live using far less power - which we won't, so we're doomed.
Back in the day, a carrier could maybe only get to the next town before becoming symptomatic. Now he can entirely switch countries. And if he can infect 2 people on his way - the disease increases exponentially.

Ok, now i have to watch it for myself.
We are learning to live with less power. We have cars, appliances, lighting and electronics now that use much less fuel/electricity than these used 40 years ago. There is tremendous engineering effort going into this. In my own career, I’ve been working on this stuff for 25 years.
Please, if you watch it, let me know where it is wrong. I don't know enough about the subject to speak about it intelligently, but I came away with the impression that we're still using more and more power - and the steps we try to make toward using less are just a drop in the bucket. The amount of forests we're burning to fuel electric power plants is horrific. They say its renewable, but the devastation lasts a long time.
