I don't think I quite understand this. Could you please explain?
Would that be hydro, gas, nuclear, geo-thermal, solar, coal, wind, biomass, tidal, cold fusion or gerbil in a wheel + fresh cheese?
well obviously non renewable energy
"According to Oil and Gas Journal, as of January 2010, Iran has an estimated 137.6 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, or roughly
10 percent of the world's total reserves."
"Iran has 27,000 billion cubic meters of gas reserves and approximately
18 percent the total of proven gas reserves in the world." and about the main point
You guys are not seeing the bigger picture here! The root of all evil here is the United States. The mullahocracy in Iran is all because of the Americans. We IRanians might love American culture and hate this Islamic plague that is in our country but we are all well aware of the American problem.
With America meddling in our affairs we can never have what we want.
Also the Russians have taken away half of our land in the past 2-3 hundred years and a nuclear weapon will hold them back as well (in the long run).
Edit:
and plz don't use Turkey as a counter argument! Turkey doesn't have an underground pool of oil and gas. If the Americans wanted they could start fueling Islamic extremism RIGHT THIS SECOND in Turkey and have an Islamic republic in a couple of decades in this VERY nationalistic country.
A nuclear Iran can threaten Saudi Arabia and all other powers in the region which are mere puppets of the Americans and this can force the yanks to bow down to Iran's demands, i.e. the removal of sanctions (in the long term).
