This is completely wrong. The U.S. is poised to license and build the
largest number of nuclear power plants since the 1960s, including one
in Georgia.
It makes sense to build a nuke in Georgia because we have no wind or
solar resources. In the desert outside of Los Angeles, building a
nuclear plant instead of a solar thermal generator would be economic
and technological insanity. It would be like putting a nuke next to
Niagara Falls instead of installing hydroelectric generators.
Half of Iran is sun baked desert, but even they won't take solar
power over nuclear.
Iran also has shortages of gasoline and they are devoting billions of
dollars to devices that separate plutonium for some odd reason. I
would not look them for energy policy ideas.
