I'm no fan of nuclear energy, but frankly Iran is being prudent in attempting to develop a very substantial base of energy production in it. What exactly do you think Iran (and Iraq & SA and most the other gulf states) is going to do a generation from now when the oil starts petering out?

The biggest problem in the M.E. is not the Arab Israeli squabble. Its what a half a billion unemployed Muslims 30 or 40 years from now will have to feed themselves and otherwise divert their minds from the fact that the oil well ran dry and they themselves don't know how to work.

They don't need energy. They have got it.

Better to sell it for cash than burn it. I suspect they also see the light at the end of the tunnel. They'll run out of oil and then what? If they thought like the Bush Administration/GOP they would wait until they pumped their last drop; blame it on liberals; and declare a crisis.
