Saudi oil minister Naimi in Paris

  • World may not need fossil fuel by 2040/50 (but you'll squeeze it to buggery until then, won't you?)
  • Priority must be access to all
  • Saudi could generate major gigawatts of solar power in the next 5 years

If you're a major oil producer the one thing you want is a fall back when the wells dry up. One thing the Saudi's aren't short of is sunlight, unlike us lot over here in Blighty. We've got wind, which is far more expensive to produce electricity from. I suppose we can tap into the hot air from the Houses of Parliament ;-)

Solar farms in the UK?
