Obama: Country with world’s 3rd largest oil reserve also needs nuclear power.

Speaking from the White House, President Obama made the case for Iran to join the club of nuclear nations.  Said the President – “We have to help Iran diversify its energy resources.  They only have 98 years of oil reserves left if no new oil is found, even though modern drilling techniques are constantly making new fields viable.”  

The President also criticized the Republicans in congress for their lack of faith in Iranian Leadership -  “I mean if you can’t trust an apocalyptic theocracy, who can you trust?”  The president did not take questions on Iranian wind / solar / hydro / natural gas or coal energy production.
