Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Gulf state is the fourth Arab country to announce a nuclear program.
Kuwait will build four nuclear reactors over the next 12 years, a national nuclear energy official has said.
Ahmad Bishara, secretary general of Kuwait’s National Nuclear Energy Committee (KNNEC), said that Kuwait is planning to build four 1,000 megawatt reactors by 2022. Speaking to press in Tokyo, Bishara said construction will begin as early as January.
The move would make Kuwait, the world’s fourth largest oil exporter, the fourth Arab state to announce plans to build nuclear reactors for energy, after Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
“This is typical of the region,” Dr. Theodore Karasik, director of security and defense studies at the Gulf Research Center told Media Line. “Kuwait is following suit behind Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.”
“They need to do something,” Karasik said, pointing out that Kuwait faces an energy growth rate of some seven percent a year. “They will have to figure it out as they go along.”
Bishara, secretary general of Kuwait’s nuclear committee, said the country would be able to afford nuclear development so long as the price of oil remains relatively stable.
“Our initial analysis indicates that nuclear is viable as long as oil is above $45 to $50 a barrel,” he said in Tokyo on Friday, adding that it was not yet clear how nuclear energy “fits in the energy mix of Kuwait for the next 20 years.”

Oh gee. That’ll stop invaders. :(
It is so amazing how the rest of the world has figured this one out on their own; yet in the U.S. we placate stupidity and ignorance through fear mongering, pop-culture foolishness and subpar government education that believes in a religion of Environmentalism, Global Warming, and Homo-Leninism. While debating whether or not a real Military & Quasi-Governmental Movement is a religion; and one that has precepts which is so biased it will kill everyone who disagrees with it.
With bullets we paid for.
2 words Nuclear Desalination, This is the holy grail for those countries since most spend enormous amounts of energy currently fossil fuels to make drinking water it makes complete sense to use the cheapest source of BTU in thermal form on the planet that being a well designed LWR.
Meanwhile the US builds ZERO nuclear reactors.
Good point.

Yeah. To bad we couldn’t do something like that.
If ONLY we had the technology... Oh, WAIT! WE INVENTED NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY!
