Re: Iran Crisis
That’s about as ridiculous as asking why Britain uses nuclear power for a significant portion of its energy needs despite being an oil-exporting nation.
Having oil is completely decoupled from the need for nuclear power.
Recklessly wasting Iran’s oil and gas reserves now will leave less for future generations of Iranians to export. Meeting domestic energy needs through nuclear power whilst using petrochemicals to meet lucrative foreign energy needs is good policy.
