Saudis want aid if world cuts oil dependence

You know, if you back at the history of that region, you will see that the wealth there is from centuries of fleecing others.
 
Boo hoo. Oh noes, what next? They'll have to cancel their project to build a cluster of islands in shape of the world map? They'll have to have their gazillion-dollar palaces reprocessed?

This was inevitable. Screw you, Saudi Arabia, for capitalising so much and not seeing this coming.

Yeah, Dubai =/= Saudi Arabia.

For one, Dubai's oil industry only contributes 6% to its economy. The rest is mostly from real estate and tourism.

If you're going to playa hate, playa hate properly.

They could, but they would lose most of the West. The US can build new nuclear plants or use its large supply of Nuclear power plants.

You are aware that uranium is likely to run out before oil does? Especially if you build lots and lots of new nuclear power plants. At the current rate, all our natural resources from coal over copper to iron will run out in the next couple of centuries.

So good luck, future generations, with mining the moon or Mars :mrgreen:

Don't be so hard on the youth. At least he connected those island projects mentally to the right region ;)

But I learned about folks from the USA here on the forum, who cannot tell the difference between Switzerland and Sweden :lol:

Austria? Can you put some shrimp on the barbie, mate? And where's the Fosters? What do you mean, you don't ride around in kangaroos?

Given adequate demand and depletion of the richer ores, uranium can and will be extracted from sea water. Combine that with reprocessing and it'll last considerably longer than oil.
 
Yes and we could also all have bicycles connected to generators at home, like in the movie "Soylent Green".

Be realistic :) The future does not belong to nuclear fission. It just doesn't.

Long-term future? Not fission, no - more likely fusion.
Medium-term until fusion is viable commercially? Fission sounds best.

Why not? (Stereotype warning) All the Americans buy treadmills and whatnot because they get fat from using elevators, I wonder how much you could generate with those... :lol:

Dubai: Awesome until you read about labor practices. And then realize that you've gone on a vacation where the only fun things to do involve air conditioning. It's like going to Phoneix in July - I'll pass.;)

Speaking from an American perspective, doesn't SA contribute less than 10% of our total oil consumption? The overwhelming majority is from Canada and our own resources right? If we curbed our fuel consumption, I'm sure those resources would be more than enough to continue our plastics production as well as the other uses of oil products.

Spectre: There's an irony to anyone in America (even Texas secessionists) dictating on savings.

well... they both have snow in the winter. So, where's the difference?

:D

ok, more seriously:

Saudi Arabia foresee a lack of money? Where have your golden faucets and silver audis gone? sell them, for a start. When you'll have got rid of them, and still starving, then we can see. Until today, Saudi Arabia (the ruling part of it, actually) had fun with its legally earned money, and Saudi Arabia is also among the countries that received the least of messing-up by western countries. So... what will they offer in exchange for money, when hard times will come? Then we can speak of help.

Both Iran and Texas get very warm summers. No real difference there either. :p
