The "we need nuclear power" canard is so transparently fraudulent that it beggars the imagination that the mullahs actually think it's convincing. Iran has alternatives. Iranian supplies of natural gas are among the most abundant in the world.
Iran's president has been quite forthright about why Iran wants to develop nuclear resources, and it has nothing to do with providing Iranians with cheap electricity.
