More nuclear reactors slated for Middle East countries

Kuwait is working with France on a nuclear power plant; UAE already has a deal with South Korea for 4 plants; and even though I try to keep up, I had not realized that Egypt is also working with Russia (!) to build four reactors in that country.

Hate to say that when I think Russian and nuclear, I conjure up Chernobyl, but maybe they learned something.

Kuwait, Emirates sign up for reactors

Whether or not the far-fringe environmentalists like it, nuclear power can and should be part of the climate change solution (and the Middle East, if they don't end up leading us to major destructive war, is leading the way on this, amazingly enough).
