They still have plenty of time to switch to solar domestically. Saudi Arabia's electricity consumption per-capita is only 75% of the US's, and their population is only 10%. Their domestic oil consumption is only a drop in the bucket compared to the export market.
- koheripbal 6y agoHow is domestic consumption relevant? They are a tiny population country.
- caymanjim 6y agoThe parent comment I replied to was about Saudi Arabia burning oil for domestic energy needs. My point is that switching their domestic use to solar is going to have almost no impact since it's a drop in the bucket compared to their export market. Unless you think they should stop exporting their only commodity and turn into Yemen.
