#1 So I see that Saudi is going to fight global warming with nuclear power. We should do that too.

One question though, how does nuclear power mix with Inshallah maintenance?

#3 Yup. You have to come up with plutonium somehow. Spent rods from a nuclear power plant are a great source of plutonium. Indeed, the recycling of plutonium into new power rods is a great way to generate new fuel. But you can divert the plutonium.

It's exactly how Japan and South Korea could generate nuclear weapons quickly: they have lots of power plants and lots of power rods to be processed.
