Petrostates risk losing trillions as world turns to green energy | FT Energy Source

As the world moves towards greener energy, a recent report suggests economies heavily reliant on oil and gas risk losing trillions of dollars in revenue. But reducing this dependence on fossil fuel revenues requires significant investments in new technologies, retraining the workforce, and diversifying sources of income. And as the FT’s Jamie Smyth explains, that may not be easy.

    It's hardly that simple. Look at Saudi Arabia, they will never be able to balance their budget without oil and will need to seriously reduce spending. Noone can get by only on spending savings, not even the Saudis.

    This is not completely a good thing. Many African nations who do not even produce most of the carbon are very dependent on fossil fuels and this will impact the livihoods of many millions of people who will soon find it hard to eat. Sadly those who have already benefitted on fossil fuels for hundreds + years in the West have are happy but its just a new way for you guys to rule the world. Always changing the finishing line once your ahead. No one would talk about fossil fuels if the US and Europe were the undeveloped ones

    2: oil and gas won't be competitive in low GDP nations - as those are typically good places for solar, which will be cheaper. 3: I highly doubt it. They need the income - the vid shows the numbers. 4: So far they're just wasting billions on prestige objects for their monarchs. Like that insane linear city. Or the moon palace blob. 5. Most predictions already day we'll stay under 2.5 degrees. Solar and wind became way way more efficient than ever predicted. Deployment is at a light speed pace.

    Part of the transition is more effective insulation and heating + A renewable grid has mass storage on it, once you go down that route which countries are doing your smoothing off the duck curve and electricity becomes a lot cheaper. If you look at an EV it can be used both as transport and a mass storage device that can power a home for 2 days

    Oil importing "states" must be careful with energy security because their economy is strongly depended on energy they get from "petro-states". If the petrostates may lose trillions dollars from oil export on near future, the oil importing countries may lose multiple times from paralyzing the industry and all the economy. The future economic development need collaboration win-win policies from oil exporting countries and from oil importing countries. The world is changing.

    @@javastream5015 First of all which countries would want to buy Saudi Arabian electricity. EU for example would not have to import Saudi Arabian electricity since Northern Europe can produce massive amounts of wind power and Southern Europe solar power. France and a few other countries in Europe has nuclear energy production assets. And even if Saudi Arabia manages to create electricity export sector they will not have any pricing power. Another problem is that Saudi Arabia is far from the largest electricity markets. Since practical superconductors don't exist electricity transfer will be extremely inefficient. I don't believe that oil will become obselete in the future but when the peak oil happens and the consumption growth trend will turn negative it is going to be very painful for oil producers and oil producing nations.
