More specifically, it never mentions better and viable alternatives. Could it be that the West has instilled a lack of trust in nuclear energy in order to force prices down, just as it has gold? Especially since the East controls so much of the uranium supply? For now, uranium prices remain low as the negativity instilled by western media continues to tarnish the sector. Therefore, Russia can't dramatically increase the price of uranium it supplies to America at higher prices because it can't justify the increase due to what appears to be a lack of demand. This simply wouldn't make international political sense. However, if eastern nations - such as China and Japan - continue with their nuclear start-ups, the supply and demand pricing issue would change very quickly. But Russia won't wait to influence those it has little control over. What it will do is kill numerous birds with one stone: Anger the West, strengthen the uranium market, and strategically gain a toehold in the Strait of Hormuz Russia Set To Build Eight Nuclear Power Plants In Iran Just a day after Russia announced the massive gas deal with China, it announced that it struck a deal with the Tehran regime to build - not one - but 8 more nuclear power plants in the country. According en.ria.ru "Moscow may sign an intergovernmental agreement with Teheran this year to build eight new reactors for nuclear power plants in Iran, a source close to the negotiations told journalists Thursday. Two reactors could be built at the Bushehr Power Plant and six reactors at other sites, the source said, adding that the talks were in their final stage. Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that Russian-Iranian cooperation would continue despite international turbulence around Tehran. Putin said that Russia and Iran are not only neighbors, but also long-standing reliable partners." I just talked about Iran's attack against the Petrodollar over the past decade. Putin's remark not only increases the validity of uranium assets while slapping Obama again in the face, but it also shows Putin's strategy of uniting nations against the West. Furthermore, the recent gas deal between Russia and China could be made exponentially stronger if the two nations had a toehold on the Strait of Hormuz.(The Strait of Hormuz passes approximately 35 per cent of the world's oil traded by sea and 20% of oil traded worldwide. If Iran is successful in blocking the passage, it would be extremely painful for the already fragile economies of Britain, Europe, the United States and Japan - all of which rely heavily on oil and gas supplies from the Gulf.)
