It's absurd that Iran would be developing nuclear power plants for peaceful energy generating purposes. When you live in a country where oil practically oozes out of the ground and water is scarce the last thing you need is a nuke plant. Unless you want a bomb, that is.

if youd ever been to tehran you would realise that this is a massive city with massive pollution problems. burning more oil (and yes filling a car is very cheap over there) isnt going to help. my western lungs struggled in the wintertime there, and i was actually quite sick for a couple of days at the worst times, until the snow came and cleared the air.

im betting the cars are most responsible, but i would think that a (genuine) nuclear program would be of benefit to them, as it would lower some of that pollution. also, dont forget they have 70 million people over there. thats more than the UK. as far as arguments for nuclear power go, i think they have a need, the problem is that youve got the loony theocracy sitting on top of everything and you just cant trust them.
