^^^^ Then brace for draconian sanctions if you dare using more practical and cleaner nuclear energy.
"Draconian sanctions" are applied only to those who disrupt the existing order by funding terror in distant places, and then make bombastic statements.
In modern day energy production system, no single European country can make a complete power station. They buy materials and instruments from different places.
If Europeans are so dependent on other Europeans for such supplies, what about others?
China? Chinese home techology is 50 years old, so they are buying nuclear plants from the USA. It roughly costs $2 billion per 1000 mega watt plant. Chinese paid hard earned cash for such plants. They are finishing up 3 such plants from the USA.
If China has to import from USA, what about others?
India- Same story. They are willing to pay cash $$$$$ to buy the power plants from Western Europe even though Russians are trying very hard to sell their own old technology.
If Indian and China with vast supply of engineers and technicians and industry are importing complete plants from USA, then what about others?
Iran - it has the $$$$ and can pay cash. It cannot build a power plant without American or European parts. So if you need parts and plants from USA, what do you do? Do you chant marg ber Amreeka 5 times a day as if it was a dua mnadated by Allah mian? Heck no. you keep good and cordial relations with everyone including the West. You pay cash and they sell you the latest power plants.
If Iran cannot build such plants by its own, then what the f they are doing enriching uranium. The answer is bumba bumba bumb, just like Pakistan and India.
And hence the "draconian sanctions" you so aptly put.
Oh and before I leave this post, one country must be discussed here as a fairness to this thread. And that country is?
Pakistan.
Only a blind idiot would believe that we and Indians were enriching uranium for local power plants. No Siree. Both us and Indians lied to the world and said, our uranium enrichment was for energy. No it was not.
Just like Iranians, it was for bumb maro bumb, mit jai ghum, bolo subha shaam, Hai Qadeer hai bumb, Hai Qadeer hai bumb, while old people and our children boil in the 45 degree summer heat.
Still Pakistanis didn't face "draconian sanctions" because we were US allies. Our Rupee didn't go 35000 to a dollar, because USA just slapped on our wrist and said "naughty naughty Shararti sayyan, kia kartay ho, hato nan!"
because we were US allies, we didn't face draconian sanctions even when we crossed all the pre-agreed lines of not exploding bumb maro bumb, because we wanted to be high on the nuclear hash, and shout mit jai ghum, and we wanted to chant praises to our nukie gods, hare Qadeer hare bumb, hare geeder hare bumb.
So if this was the past, what about the future.
Just two options.
Either we all work hard and export to West like Chinese do and Indians do and S. koreans do and Japanese do.
Then make lots of $$$$$$ and pay cash for coal plant, water plant, nukie plant, gas plant and the plants that tell you Ya habibi and dance around you.
Or the other option is, to be true allies 110% of the West and they will give us loans and with those loans we buy coal plant, water plant, nukie plant, gas plant and the plants that tell you Ya habibi and dance around you.
There is no third way, except the way of Islamists that is retched poverty, abject humiliation, suicide bombing, load shedding, gas shedding, water shedding, and above all roti shedding.
Hope this makes it clear, even though I don't except the followers of Islamists and Mullis and Ayatullies to understand this complex yet simple logic.
peace to you my fellow pak, peace to all.
