For starters, Iran exports twice as much oil as it consumes, and nearly all of its power is generated by fossil fuels. Of what little hydro generation they have, they export nearly as much as they import. Natural gas? They export nearly on par to imports.
And who isn't going nuclear for energy these days? Look at China...France....
