It talked initially about two reactors, the possibility of moving up to eight. We know from our own experience here in the United States, we know from the japanese experience and the European Experience its a lot easier to announce reactors than to build reactors, although it would be interesting to see if a not in my Backyard Movement crops up in iran. That would be an interesting story. It creates a rational of sorts under which the iranians could justify going up to the supreme fugse as 0,000 sentry a rational for fueling these when they get built. It takes so long to build them, they would have plenty of time to do this. To that degree it helps. The other side is the iranians are inefficient producers of uranium.

Youve seen his tweets about moving up the election, which isnt done by a person who thinks theyll win, its done by someone who seriously thinks they are going to lose and is nearing the ends of desperation. I know im going to lose, so lets not even hold the contest. But beside that, what he was trying to do was create a massive distraction from the disastrous economic numbers or, as npr puts it, three months of hake. About 14 minutes before his tweet the congret departmess de shed stead shrank. Thats more than triple the previous record set in 58 and four times the worst during the great recession.
