The oil-rich country, OPEC&#8217;s second-largest producer, is seeking to go nuclear partly under pressure from global green de-carbonizers, who are trying to raze all oil production from the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>According to {Bloomberg News}, who interviewed Kamal Hussain Latif, chairman of the Iraqi Radioactive Sources Regulatory Authority, &#8222;Iraq is seeking to build eight reactors capable of producing about 11 gigawatts, [and seeking] funding from prospective partners for the $40 billion plan and pay back the costs over 20 years.&#8220; Iraq has been in contact with both Russian and South Korean officials about a deal, they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Detailing the sorry state of electricity in Iraq, {Bloomberg} notes that Iraq currently has 18.4 GW capacity, which includes 1.2 GW imported from Iran.

By 2030, Iraq&#8217;s demand is expected to rise to 42 GW, so the 11GW nuclear that they are seeking is right in step with demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>The bright future with nuclear fission and fusion power will be discussed at the upcoming Schiller Institute conference. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-big\"><h3><strong>For the Common Good of all People, not the Rules Benefiting the Few!<\/strong> <\/h3><p>International Schiller Institute\/ICLC online conference, June 26\/ 27, 2021<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iraq is seeking to build eight nuclear power plants by 2030, to eliminate its endemically bad electricity footprint, a product of destruction by the Children of Satan &#8212; most recently of George Bush&#8217;s 2003 Iraq War destruction, but going as far back as the 1981 bombing of the (almost complete) Osirak nuclear reactor by Israel.
