Nasrallah Wants Nuclear Power For Lebanon

Sayyed Nasrallah in yesterday’s speech:

“I call on the Lebanese government to seriously consider … building a nuclear power plant for the peaceful purpose of generating electricity, which would be more cost-efficient than the plan the government has endorsed,”

Irony aside, there is no doubt that nuclear energy is one of the most efficient and clean ways to generate power. The only reason such technology is being denied to Iran (and Hezbollah by extension) is because it can also be used for military means.

It is also very expensive, and that is why Sayyed Nasrallah probably meant it as a joke, to criticize the hugely expensive and inefficient electrical sector in the country.
