re: #316 goddamnedfrank

You’re wrong. Iran has precious little refinery capacity, oil is priced globally, and as a result they are forced to import and ration gasoline & other fuels. Nuclear power is currently the cheapest option per kilowatt hour for pretty much everyone who doesn’t have vast geothermal reserves (read: Iceland.)

I’m fairly certain that oil refineries and natural gas power plants would be a cheaper way to go for Iran. They have oil, and they have natural gas. They just need to convert it to electricity. Why the need for nuclear power?

Are they environmentalists now?
