Need an ELI5 on this. Feels like UAE/Oman could build a giant Tunnel Boring Machine and build a high capacity pipeline out to the sea. And/or Saudi could build the infra to transfer more capacity than a couple boats out there.
I'm intentionally underselling this effort but genuinely curious.
- CamperBob2 7mo agoI imagine the drawbacks include the need for a lot of vulnerable terminal infrastructure at both ends of the pipeline. While the underground pipeline itself should be safe enough, the pumping and storage facilities might represent even more concentrated risk than the Strait itself. No personal knowledge of this stuff, though.
