Saudi Arabia is driving a huge global investment plan to create demand for its oil and gas in developing countries, an undercover investigation has revealed. Critics said the plan was designed to get countries “hooked on its harmful products”.
Little was known about the oil demand sustainability programme (ODSP) but the investigation obtained detailed information on plans to drive up the use of fossil fuel-powered cars, buses and planes in Africa and elsewhere, as rich countries increasingly switch to clean energy.
If politicians threaten Saudi Arabia’s interests, they cut production just before an election, and dumb voters blame the government trying to curtail their influence.
So you can blame western governments, but western voters are just as much to blame.
I’ll never not find it funny that americans think the president has two buttons that says: make gas expensive and make gas cheap
It’s not wrong. Voters need to demand an infrastructure and options that allow them to not compromise their values when leading a normal life.
