The world as we know it is in transition. In just a few generations, global power supply has been completely transformed. The fuel of the future is clean, green and plentiful; renewables are well and truly on the rise. From the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, Isa Soares looks at a new age for clean energy. With renewables accounting for more than two thirds of the world's new power installations and solar energy employing more people in the United States than fossil fuels, it's fair to say that times are changing. With rapid expansion in Chinese markets causing the cost of solar and wind to plummet, and the green job market booming, the business case for disrupting traditional energy infrastructure has never been greater.

Explore the advances and innovations in a changing energy sector. CNN’s Nina Dos Santos is at the Future Energy Expo in Kazakhstan looking at how the energy industry is shaping and evolving for the nearly ten billion people who will live on Planet Earth by 2050. What is the outlook for a world committed to a greener power mix? What are the solutions to some of the trickier issues of renewables, such as storage and regulation of supply? And what are the wildest dreams of scientists trying to solve some of our age-old energy dilemmas? The role of nuclear power, rare earth elements and artificial sunlight are examined. And we visit Ireland where integrating existing infrastructure with new flywheel technology is underway.

75 years ago the bombing of Hiroshima showed the appalling destructive power of the atomic bomb. Mark Cousins’ bold new documentary looks at death in the atomic age, but life too. Using only archive film and a new musical score by the band Mogwai, Atomic shows us an impressionistic kaleidoscope of our nuclear times: protest marches, Cold War sabre rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima, but also the sublime beauty of the atomic world, and how X Rays and MRI scans have improved human lives. The nuclear age has been a nightmare, but dreamlike too.

NOVA reveals the minute-by-minute story of the Fukushima nuclear crisis -- the one you know about, and the one you likely don't; the perilously close call at the other Fukushima nuclear power plant a few miles away from the meltdowns. With unprecedented access inside both plants, NOVA speaks with workers who were there during the harrowing days of a crisis that began as a natural disaster but was made worse by human beings. But why did the worst happen at one plant, and another that faced nearly identical challenges emerged unscathed? It may come down to the skill and knowledge of one man, who has worked there since they started construction. These are crucial questions as the company that runs both plants, TEPCO, tries to clean up an unprecedented radioactive mess.
