Default Jordan wants nuclear power
from USA today
Quote:
In an interview with the daily Haaretz, Abdullah said his desert kingdom, which borders Israel and has a peace agreement with it, wanted nuclear power "for peaceful purposes" and was already discussing its plans with Western countries.
Jordan is not a terrorist state. Should they be allowed to have it?

I am reserving judgement due to insufficient data. My initial instinct says "no".

They are a Constitutional Monarchy. - https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications...k/geos/jo.html -

However it is not clear whether or not the elected representatives can supercede the King or not.

Default Me too
My initial reaction is negative too.

Why is it that countries with so many problems and so much poverty are interested in nuclear power?

It's like me, middle class American, trying to buy a multi-national company. The bank would probably tell me to learn how to balance my own personal checking account better first, then ask them once I became a multi-billionaire.
