  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.

  But we wont be as industrious. God truly gives with one hand and takes with another.
