Are you making sure that no bombs are made of it?

See this is where we have the world fooled MWUHAHAHAHAHA. We have been stockpiling nuclear warheads for the last decade and soon we will be the new world superpower!!!

So far i don't think we have even started mining it let alone trading it with anyone.

Just and ironic thought:
Having such large deposits of uranium might make you a target of evil doers, and you have to develop nuclear weapons to protect yourself!

Unless China goes rogue i can't see that sort of thing happening.

Nuclear weapons don't offer any protection they simply fight fire with fire.
"You attack us we will blow the shit out of you with our big expensive missiles" Kind of thing. No country needs to stockpile Nukes.

The best way to protect yourself from a Chinese nuclear attack is to borrow lots of money from them like the US does.

Back to the title of this thread:
If Iran would develop windmills and solar power plants, it would be in much better shape right now! I am sure the US will bomb the crap out of them soon on the nuclear issue.

I really don't think that it is up to the US who gets to use Nuclear power and who doesn't. Really its a matter of the US saying "ohh they are of middle eastern decent so they must be using it to build bombs". If Australia decided that we wanted to start enriching uranium america or anyone else wouldn't give it so much as a thought.

It was actually agreed upon by the people who put together the first nuclear bomb(fatman). Decided that if this weapon was to work then EVERY country should be allowed to have access to the plans and materials required to build a nuclear warhead so as no one country can take control like the Americans have.

Do you like the idea of every tinpot dictator being able to threaten every nation on earth? Or are you just serving as the devil's advocate here?

lasher51 is just a very informed person and, like some others, likes a good dialog.

France gets most of their electricity from nuclear power plants. Safety has been dsigned in from the start. This whole industry sector has created a large number of good jobs.

China is bying huge amount of nuclear power plants from France. They must like the standardized and safe design.

>> I really don't think that it is up to the US who gets to use Nuclear power and who doesn't.
Didn't it come out recently that the original reason for building Sellafield was for under the cover enrichment? It's something I remember hearing before... Can't remember where though.
I hate the way America's arrogance makes them, from time to time, believe that they have the right to dictate to the world what they can and can't do while they do exactly the opposite - you can't have nuclear enrichment plants (alegedly for power production), but we can. It's like your taller, older and jerk of a brother holding your face in the mud.
