That sort of thinking must be why you are not in charge of such decisions - capitalists want to hog their money and have it live instead of giving it to you to destroy: <That is what I do. Produce nuclear energy and sell gas to India. >

The arithmetic was obviously too difficult.

$1 + $1 + $1 = $3
$1 + $1 = $2

$3 is more than $2, for the SAME electricity output.

Your problem was to explain why it's a good idea for Iran and India to pay MORE than they need to for electricity, while getting the added risk [certainty] of Israel destroying the nuclear reactors and Pakistan destroying the pipeline.

You pointed out that France uses nearly all nuclear. The reason for that is they don't have gas, they do have nuclear technology. They built nuclear reactors instead of a pipeline from Libya and Saudi Arabia. They did that because it was cheaper. They also found it quite handy to be able to produce lots of atomic bombs.

Russia wanted lots of atomic bombs. So they made lots of nuclear reactors. It's also a big place so it was cheaper to build nuclear reactors than pipelines everywhere. One big pipeline to wealthy Europe provided lots of money.

Brazil might want nuclear reactors. They might have a big surplus of hydrocarbons. Whatever Brazil does probably is irrational. I won't even try to make sense of whatever they are doing. Brazil probably wants atomic bombs too.
