When oil was cut off from the United States during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, Henry Kissinger told Faisal "If Saudi Arabia does not lift the boycott, America will come and bomb the oilfields." King Faisal replied back "You are the ones who can't live without oil. You know, we come from the desert, and our ancestors lived on dates and milk and we can easily go back and live like that again." But I don't think king Faisal's quote remains true anymore.

Of course, in the Chicago area we don't have any shortage of water, but in areas that do, recycling like this could drastically reduce the need for "new" water.

Saudi Arabia won't get enough tourism from Neon to come even close to what it makes with oil. They're making a big mistake. They should invest in microchips and advanced manufacturing.

[@dagmarbubolz7999]

@@jamesjonnes forget the tourism, they collect investor money with their big visionaire projects, then take this money to invest in whatever brings them real revenue (stocks, gold reserves, bitcoin?,fonds etc), then when the projects fail and investors want their money back, they will first delay then they have already made their fortune with it and will give you just your investment and maybe a bit of an interest rate back (if at all, because every big investment is also usually risky, you can win a lot, you can loe a lot too if it fails). So basically, you wasted money and time that you should have invested directly, so YOU would have earned the profit, not them. You'd think, why would rich people be so dumb? But remember, they also invested in theranos. and there will be groups selling to less rich people, basically robbing them of their retirement plans. We have 2023 already. In 2030 they want to have stuff ready with technology, that doesn't exist at a level yet that can be implemented in a sensible way (think the self driving assistent by Tesla, or kinda Musk tunnel) and they just flat out fool you. Like yes, you can get from one end of the city to the other end in just twenty minutes with high speed trains. But you can't get anywhere inbetween, otherwise that train has to stop constantly, and well that is just a train then taking it's time, definitely not 20 min. High speed only makes sense when connecting far away points, not in a sense of public transport. So you will either use these drone taxis (don't find the idea that there will be tons of them in that narrow space between the walls convincing), or you will be stuck, or the train will exist but take it's time to travel. Don't see a lot of problems solved either like water management, waste management, hazard security etc. All it seem to be are shiny projects in 3-D game graphics, that will totally look different (worse) in real life if they ever come to an end like predicted in the first place.

The problem with Saudi Arabia is that countries like UAE and Qatar have been pushing ahead with their diversification much earlier than Saudi Arabia, so the "middle eastern tourism heavens" titles have been snapped up by those countries. These countries have managed to build up a hospitality brand by means of their airlines, which have developed their fame all around the world. I mean, airlines like Emirates and Etihad (UAE flag carriers) and Qatar airways (flag carrier of Qatar) have done HUMONGOUS levels of publicity of the hospitality for UAE and Qatar. But the thing is, Saudi Arabia doesn't have such international level of hospitality reputation that UAE and Qatar have. This makes it disadvantageous for Saudi Arabia to attempt to diversify. Also, apparently, there were gigantic aquifers under the Arabian peninsula which were formed almost 10,000 to 15,000 years ago when the monsoons were more northern oriented. However, Saudi Arabia, in its desperate bid for food security, drained up large quantities of those aquifers to irrigate its fields to the point that almost 60%-70% of those aquifers are depleted now, forcing Saudi Arabia to shift its food to other countries, and to increasingly rely on its desalination plants. It also has to plan for new plants to cover for this deficit as well. Some back of the hand calculations have said that Saudi Arabia if being forced to use almost 25% of the oil it produces just to power the desalination plants because of its water scarcity, which is projected to increase further to around 50% when the aquifers inevitably run out by the 2030s and the kingdom is forced to rely entirely on desalination. This would be disastrous if the Saudis don't diversify its energy mix quick enough. Also, there has been some argument by experts who claim that Saudi Arabia is fudging its numbers and inflating its claims of its oil reserves by almost 40%, which puts the kingdom in a bigger problem.

It deserves to be mentioned that Saudi has one of the lowest costs of oil production in the world. They can keep making money even if the price of oil falls to 30 dollars. The break even point shown in the video is the fiscal break even point where the cost of the country's social programs is added into it. As rightly stated in the video Saudi's societal problems are supported by oil income and that support is drawn from Saudi Aramco the oil producing company. The video should have also mentioned all the earlier cities that were conceived and came to a halt. And 7 years seems to be a short span for the city to be close to completion in any reasonable way.

I think Saudi Arabia can easily mitigate energy and water problem using solar photovoltaic energy. They have very good solar potential with large areas available. Recycling water will enable them minimal requirement of replenishing water.

[@vince6252]

GPT-3: No, desalination is not inherently toxic. There are several ways to desalinate water in a clean way. These include reverse osmosis, distillation, and nanofiltration. All of these methods involve passing the water through a filter to remove the salt and other contaminants. As long as the filter is properly maintained, the process should be safe and clean.

[@wolfgangdevries127]

Or.. just let the water evaporate in bassins and then remove the salt and fill the bassins again. Way more cheaper and effective. But the Arabians have swallowed the techno babble, I'm afraid.

When I worked at NEOM it was a Metaverse project. I think the NEOM architecture is inspired by Anthills. Even they have a small footprint maximizing the use of the enclosed space. Plants and animals don’t really care about our labels of north, south, east, or west. They are however very sensitive to their environment and they always reflect it. Light, heat, water, and food change the way all nature behaves. And this is the key to finding direction in many species. Ant hills can be used as a "rough compass" or navigation aid by observing the direction in which the ants are entering and exiting the hill. In the Northern Hemisphere, ants typically enter their hills facing south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, they tend to enter facing north. However, it's important to note that this is not a reliable or precise method of navigation and other methods should be used. :)

A lot of Saudis earn from Kafala system so they are "unemployed". This corrupt strategy resembles a form of indirect slavery, making it harder for migrants to escape such dreadful situations. Female domestic workers who attempt to run away fall victim to sex traffickers. The power of the Kafala system is the fuel for contemporary modern-day slavery.

I think people are interpreting wrong message from this video that Saudi Arabia is selling there oil in loss.

The Data is wrong. Pls.correct it . didn't expect think school will such a blender. 1. The break evening is for the budget deficit and not for the production cost. KSA has the least cost of production for oils which is less than 10 USD. If the oil price reaches 20 USD per barrel still KSA will make profit out of it. 2. KSA will be self sufficient in their vegetables and fruits requirement by 2025. 3.KSA has started to export vegetables and grains. 4. The oils demand will come down but still it will never doing the stop filling the ksa treasury as other than transportation...every manufacturing industry needs oil, as electricity cant able to produce everything. 5. Due to budget deficit, ksa has started to take the saving from their reserves which was 1 Trillion in early 2000's when the barrel was seeking around 100+ USD. From 2015 this reserve has come down to less than half to

I think this would be a good reason why Saudi Arabia is considering joining the BRICS.
