this isn't what we aspire to, your highnesses (part 2)

And yet again, the GCC council shows, once again, how concioucos about their own environment and their nations welfare and how far they are willing to go just to prove it.

The GCC countries now want nuclear power. And of all the excuses in the world to have it, is to be able to balance out the equation what nuclear capabilities that Iran (Persia) and Israel have. I can understand Israel because it's never been a secret that, as an Arab we were always scared about what it would do to us in case we did end up in a stand off. But - Iran?

Iran has only threatened that any western led strikes that are airborne from any GCC country it will retialiate defensively. And to be frank, they have every right to be in such a rowdy mood against a group of countries that are looking out for it's destruction.

But to be fair, I don't think there is ever a reason to be using nuclear technology to make power in the GCC. Why? Because there are other many other alternatives that can be used, easily and generate enough energy for the whole year for an entire city. Like solar power, or wind power for instance.

Why aren't those methods put to use?

Why the use of such a damaging technology to man, animal and habitat?

This isn't what we want. If the people know any better than to shout out in rejoice to this redicilous plan to make nuclear energy the next era, they have another thing coming.

I suppose this where we all get to say, 'there goes the Earth..'
