The Shaw Group, Inc., Toshiba & Execelon are planning to work with the Saudis on building nuke electric generating plants in Sudi Arabia.  Note that Shaw & Toshiba own Westinghouse Nuclear, the designer of the AP1000 series nuclear plants.

Question:  With all that sun and all that oil why does Saudi Arabia need electric energy from nuclear fuel?
