Saudi, like UAE has seen the writing on the wall...

and are doing something about it. They know they can't extract much of their petro-resources without seriously damaging the global climate, along with all the wars and strife for water, food, etc. Granted, they have a hell of a long way to go with Yemen, their destabilizing rivalry with Iran, funding extremists, etc., but at least are making the effort. China moving rapidly to renewable energy as is the EU. And what are we doing? Climate change is a hoax!!!1!1!!!! Bring back coal!!!11!!!1!!!
