Ironic. Saudia Arabia would be about as poor as Afghanistan if it wasn’t for burning oil.
The less oil they burn, they more they can sell to the West.
I assure you they have no issue with that.
They could probably double their output if they wanted. But they don’t, they want high prices not more oil.
Saudi Arabia has a policy to reduce oil consumption locally. The government subsidizes power to the people, so if solar/wind is cheaper they will be adopted as it will save the government money.
But we wont be as industrious. God truly gives with one hand and takes with another.
Looking at the picture, I think Forbes has no idea, what a solar thermal power plant is.
Yes, but it is still getting built. https://www.solarpaces.org/saudi-factory-to-mass-produce-glasspoints-solar-steam-technology/

Surprising, I thought thermal solar power was going the way of the dodo.
No, it is practical where it gets too hot for photovoltaic
