Calculating The cost of Putting Iran Out Of The Nuclear Business.

USA Total power Consumption 1999 is:
96.60 quadrillion BTU or 966,000,000,000,000 BTU

The population of the united states is 306 million
A large industrial user using that many kW's will not be paying more than 0.03$ per kW if even that much.
Converting BTU's to kW's. 3,412 BTU's is equal to one kW
So one trillion BTU divided by 3,412 equals 293,083,235 kW
At .03$ a kw the cost of 1 trillion BTU is $8,792,497
To find out the total cost of the United States power consumption divide
96.60 quadrillion by 1 trillion then multiply the answer by $8,792,497.
The answer to the first part comes to 96,600 trillions in 96.60
quadrillion
The answer to the second part 96,600 multiplied by $8,792,492 equals
849,354,727,200
Which is $849.35 billion a year spent on US electricity.
Divide that by the US population which is 306 million to see the amount of
the cost per person.
That is 849,354,727,200 divided by 304,000,000 equals $2793 per person per
year.
This figure is obviously a rough estimate of what a country the size of the US spends on power each year with infrastructure and everything included.
Iran has a population of 70 million people. So multiply 70 million times $2793. That number equals 195.5 billion per year.
The cost of supplying power to the whole country of Iran is 195,510,000,000 or 195.5 billion per year.
If we spend the bulk of it, say 100 billion and let the rest of the countries in the U.N. spend the rest and get Iran to pay a little as well I bet its still cheaper than the alternative which is war like the one in Iraq. So lets compare the cost of the power to the war in Iraq to find out.
The cost of going to war in Iraq over possible nuclear weapons was 606,495,000,000 and climbing. This figure 606.5 billion represents only the United States cost since 2003. Divide that by 6 for the amount of time spent their comes to 101,082,500,000 or 101 billion per year. Seems like its cheaper to pay the 100 billion by about a billion dollars.
So instead of trying to determine the intentions of Iran's nuclear program or considering war to thwart their nuclear program wouldn't it just be easier to say to them, we will supply you with the power you need. Now you no longer have the need for any reason to be enriching uranium.
If they still continue with their uranium enrichment their intentions from then on have become crystal clear and our intentions from then on should be even clearer.
