<Iran has oil and gas -- lots of it, second only to Saudi Arabia in reserves.> Yet even right here in SI, people, such as Geode, can't understand that that means they don't need a nuclear reactor to generate electricity, especially if they are going to build a gas pipeline thousands of miles long, across potentially hostile countries, at a cost of $billions, when they could build that pipeline to a thermal power station locally to generate the electricity that the nuclear reactor would produce.

It fascinates me how such a short chain of logic bamboozles some people, namely Geode, and they really do seem to believe the Iranians that their nuclear power station is for peaceful purposes. I suppose they have learned from the Pentagon, which called a military rocket "Peacemaker". Big Brother does that; see "1984".
