A public utility shouldn’t depend on a for-profit platform

The US constitution permits slavery as punishment for crimes. So they made a whole set of laws to criminalize black lives and optimize enslaving them.

Please Mr Biden weaponize Android and Windows. We need your wise actions to spur the development of free and open alternatives.

This is just Vikingphobia

Not with the US threatening us https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/03/politics/joe-biden-saudi-arabia-opec/index.html

So you'd agree that Saudi Arabia transitioning away is a good thing, and so is selling less of it. Yet... the number one producer threatens us if we ever reduce production. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/12/biden-threatens-consequences-for-saudi-arabia-after-opec-cut.html

Siemens Austria has produced and installed the world's first large-scale, solar-powered desalination plant. The plant in Saudi Arabia is controlled according to the solar energy available, in order that the highest possible proportion of renewable energy is used for water desalination. Along with the electrical, monitoring and control technology, Siemens also supplied the transformers for the power supply system. A further eight seawater desalination plants using Siemens technology are already planned.

In the current list [yes photovoltaic and not thermal], that would theoretically make it the 8th largest solar power plant in the world, and this plant is meant to power an aluminum mill

Yes, but it is still getting built. https://www.solarpaces.org/saudi-factory-to-mass-produce-glasspoints-solar-steam-technology/

The UAE is another country with another government and flag

Liberal governments are better at propaganda because public opinion matters.

Awful lot of pro Saudi videos being posted, and strongly and quickly up voted right now.

The news and videos are either factual or not. If you have counter sources please share them. There’s nothing nefarious or rule-breaking about what I have shared.

Complete with whataboutism in the comments!

Not sure what this means.

Not saying these aren’t steps in the right direction, but green washing is something that should raise eyebrows.

Greenwashing is something more accurately should be directed at the US and the developed world. Saudi Arabia both historically and present is a negligible CO2 emitter.

Why are singling out Saudi Arabia when the US and Canada announced bigger fossil fuels production increases?

Interesting graphs to put it into perspective internationally

Fossil fuels aren’t forever and it makes sense for Saudi Arabia to use solar power

Any sane person would have seen this outcome coming. The leavers were still stuck in the Victorian Era with their mentality.

Israel has been attacking the crossing

Alarm as Israel again hits Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt

Israel Gaza war: Explosion at Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt

Israeli attack kills Palestinian border crossing chief: Gaza officials

Those are all separate attacks on separate days and there have been more.

Though Egypt should break its agreements with Israel and move its troops and secure the crossing itself. Too bad El Sisi is a useless collaborator.

I agree with him here, I just wish he was consistent.

Is this trend only the US? Would be interesting to see how it is in other countries and how it correlates to economic and social indcators
