Iran are already doing it. Seen the exchange rate of the dollar lately? well do you know that Iran are going over to pricing barrels in EUROs and not DOLLARS!!!!??? That sure must smart and hit the inflationary pressures in the good old US of A bearing in mind they rely a fair old bit on gulf oil. Or am I just beeing too cynical. Hate to point it out, numerous numpties have commented on that with IRan sitting on a lake of oil, why the hell do they need nuclear power?
Well perhaps, just perhaps, they dont want to bloody burn the stuff that will, at some stage dry up! In other words, Iran projecting the current price of oil in the future may consider nuclear a more cost effective solution for their economy. Just a different viewpoint for you all to consider.
