"It is sad to think that a person would ignore evidence that their business kills people to protect profit."
Saudi Arabia has pledged to bring down their fossil fuel emissions, publicly launching the "Saudi Green Initiative" in 2022, signing the Paris Climate agreement, endorsing the UN's climate goals.
They've also seen that there's a "risk" of reduced oil demand around the world and quietly setup the "Oil-demand Sustainability Program" to "artificially stimulate demand in some key markets", (promote combustion engine cars and aircraft travel in Africa and South East Asia) and their energy minister wants them to be "the last man standing, and every molecule of hydrocarbon will come out".
They have a 46 point plan to promote oil, spanning 17 government entities, including things like investing in roads and airports, making sure ICE (gas/diesel) engines are low-cost and competitive potentially a JV with a car OEM to make a low-cost ICE car, supporting low-cost airlines, restarting development of supersonic aircraft because they use so much fuel, establishing local ICE car part manufacturing facilities which will have an oil uplift, accelerate deployment of last-mile delivery and ride-hailing apps in underserved markets and "ensure the deployment of an ICE-fleet", "support the deployment of bus transportation across developing countries to capture the increasing diesel demand", support research to make marine Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) scrubbers cheaper than switching to LNG or biofuels and promote regulations that allow continued use of HFO, etc. etc.
