Iran Announces Intent to Build 19 New Nuclear Power Plants

24 Dec 2007

December 24, 2007 (LPAC)--Iran will soon announced a tender to build 19 new nuclear power plants, Novosti reported today. "An international tender will be announced soon for the creation of 19 nuclear power plants with a capacity of 1,000 MW each," Novosti quoted Kazem Jalali, a spokesman for Iran's parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy. This is part of Iran's policy to generate 20,000 MW of electricity.

Iran's announcement is in line with the urgently necessary global renaissance of nuclear power, which is sweeping especially the Third World, but being stupidly ignored in major Western powers such as the United States and Germany, thanks to the dominance of Green insanity by the likes of Al Gore.

The Bushehr nuclear plant, currently being built by Russia, will start to generate electricity by March 2008, Iranian government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said Dec. 22. "In line with a timetable of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, electricity to be generated by the Bushehr nuclear power plant will flow into the country's power grid next year," which begins in Iran on March 21.
