We have no influence over Saudi Arabia, unless we wished to plead guilty to influencing its current domestic and foreign policy. And we could do perfectly well without its money.
If we had the sense to dig our own coal again and to build enough nuclear power stations, then we would not need its oil, either. We do not in fact need it at all. In response to much the same point, but made in relation to Russian gas, a comment on a previous post read:
More nuclear - you are quite right. Each town should have a mini submarine sized reactor - plenty of power. That and localised coal power stations and stop the windmills they cost more to build than they ever generate (did you know that)
I did. And that proposal is either barking mad or pure genius, so often a fine line. I honestly cannot decide which. Over to you.
