#3 I remember when we were an actual country that could be afforded the same ability to build stuff as China and Saudi Arabia.

#4 All I can think of is the Planet of The Apes movie (2nd one I think) Beneath the Planet of the Apes where the remnant, telepathic humans worship the nuclear bomb. You can decide for yourself who the Apes invading the Forbidden zone, telepathic bomb worshippers, etc. are in the current events adaptation.

#5 #4 that was a prescient thought. Back in the 50's I new a professor neighbor who wrote a book on the hollow moon. Now people believe the Earth is hollow. I kid you not. Look at videos on the entry hole in Antarctica. All the world stations that are located there. Even the Germans looked for a military advantage there during WW11. Just saying. There are many things under the sun. I sitback and enjoy the show and sip from the cup of life slowly for it tis a heady brew.

#6 If the Saudis build thorium cycle reactors, there would be no concern about weapons production. They are using more and more of their own oil production domestically while piling up US dollars that are rapidly depreciating.

#7 Makes economic sense. Why burn $100/barrel oil when they can sell every bit they produce. Natural gas, if they have a surplus, is another matter. The question is where will the spent nuke fuel end up?
