Is This The Beginning Of A Nuclear Power Race In The Gulf States?
2020-08-05
[OilPrice] One of the world’s largest oil producers and exporters, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has just launched the first nuclear power plant in the Arab world. Touted as a major milestone for the UAE and its energy diversification, the project raises questions about the economic viability of an expensive nuclear power plant in one of the best spots for solar energy in the world.

More importantly, the project also raises questions about the geopolitical implications of a nuclear facility in the restive Middle East region, where tensions increased after the assasination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani earlier this year.
When haven't the ME tensions "raised"? If there's no external reason, these tribal assholes will create an internal one
Iran could trigger a nuclear arms race, experts say.
