    As someone who’s from Arabia a few points:

    1. Desalination and cooling are the major factors for our high energy consumption
    2. The US still refuses allowing us to make use of uranium
    3. Photovoltaic doesn’t work when it’s regularly over 40C and there have been one infamous case of the panels melting

      Sounds like uranium problem might now be solved with help from Russia, and an alternative to photovoltaic solar power would be to use mirrors to heat up molten salt the way China is doing with some of their plants http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-03/01/c_139775005.htm
