    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.
