Why the Middle East won’t quit oil | Business Beyond

Of course they will not quit oil, what else would they do? It’s just talk

Because oil can't quit..

when america drills baby drill its over for them

america and venezula have more oil

The west isn't quitting oil either. Nobody is

I only have one question to all this. What if no one else but the west has oil, would there be a call to going green?

And why not investigating Chinas or Americas Plans about reducing Oil use
Look to their statics its incomparable with the middle east ones

Nobody with common sense would "quit" their most valuable assets. The West can cry about climate change as much as they want.

They will help Africa, India and China grow their demand and the west will be irrelevant.

Western colonize and invade other countries those have oils. And yet questioning why wont quit oil. Even in US the oil production is incresing.

Green hydrogen is a pipe dream.
Fun fact hydrogen powered cars and power plants use more energy then it produces a lot of the time.
Fun fact after everything we do to oil to get gas it's only 37% efficient hydrogen is similar it's only 40 to 50% efficient.
But ev cars can be 70 to 87% efficient.
Fun fact ev cars are older then Ford and Ford killed ev cars now ev cars are killed Ford lol karma ford.

Insightful comments not easily found elsewhere

Time for Just Stop Oil to invade Middle East, I guess?

Hypocrite Europe why you would don't ask the big oil producer in the Worldwide united States of America to STOP???

How can renewables bring democracy. I thought OIL brings American democracy 😀

Oil is not necessarily only an energy source, but also a staple material used in other industries. Should the world successfully pivot from fossil fuel to cleaner energy sources, oil is still likely to remain as materials to other industries, if not cheaper, as there would be less demand from the energy side.

Despite how hard we try to because "carbon neutral" and reduce our dependence on oil, the power of the pump is and remain "King" ! The rest of the world needs access to cheap energy and we will not reduce our dependence overnight. New oil producers in South America, Africa and other oil producing nations need cash and oil/gas provides that. As long as there is need there will always be a demand. Get use to it world!

It's clearly they are in the process of converting their wealth from oil oriented to renewable. Of course theyll maximize oil profits first before changing to renewable. completely normal strategy

if they ''quit oil'' the would would stope working you guys asking for something that you are not rdy for.

Germany are the biggest hypocrites, banning Chinese evs to buy more petrol to support Saudi. Whilst cancelling sustainable nuclear and burning the world’s dirtiest coal

About 50% of opec oil reserves don't exist at all....about 15% of opec oil reserves are not recoverable.... so only about 40% are available for exploitation.

Interesting how Germany has decided to destroy their automotion industry, and probably their most valuable brand. Agenda 2030. Welcome to the misery of the comunism... again.

it is not fossil fuel. That term is misleading.

Oil should not be a concern in this lifetime., although we should be using it to create independence and wealth, not dependence and war

When energy looted - it turns - curse.
A curse that destroys in humans consciousness and the future.
Karl Marx, Nikola Tesla, Balfour, Einstein, Huxley, Orwell, Turing - should be forgiven for thinking their systems can last forever.
Finite fossil fuels are dangerously hypnotic to humans, their consciousness, reasoning and mental capacity.
Humans were not ready morally, ethically and intellectually to start the mass extraction of fossil fuels with the advent of the steam engine 300 years ago.
The Magna Carta requires today overhauling – adding to it the right for humans to understand what Energy really is - before any other commandment;
“In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future” (2017).

They can launch a sharia hit order with their trained hypnotists dispersed world wide, USA is stuck with a broken economic system, because they are lazy to make a new one, it's a huge risk,but we need to make a new political system and economic system, otherwise you get stuck with democracy as a capitalist or racist way or self defense mechanism against populated nations,then satellites and hypnotized sexism etc with the drive of money,rots the world 😅,the only way to stop Fossil fuel is with new technology..

this documentaryis just 20 minutes rant.

Saudi influences the oil market entirely on its own because of its mass reserves and low cost of production. Sure the US has the highest production in the world but it only achieves this through Fracking which is vastly more expensive and the wells exponentially decline in production. So of course this still has a major influence on the US and always will. The fact that DW has a historian (Ellen Ward) giving your viewers incorrect information just shows the incompetence of this channel.

In 50 years, these countries of the Middle East will starve to death.

I am still waiting for wind/ sun powered tanks to fight climate change. I better sit down .

Ongoing conflict? You mean genocide.

The 1st world, including China, is facing a population collapse starting in 2030. As the population collapses so too will carbon emission. Extreme elderly and dead people do not drive cars, they do not go to work, they are not consumers. The Carbon Driven Climate Change will correct itself, even if we do absolutely nothing. So why are we trying to bankrupt our countries driving inflation through the roof. Just stop it will all be corrected in 20 years.

Lol Germany itself depends heavily on fossil fuel and we all know the story with the russian gas.

Pretty much everything is made from oil. It's gonna be a hard thing to quit

Duh?

Duh?

the line is really a secret pipeline to move oil away from the other side without ships

Fossil fuels are not cheap.

We have, and have had, viable technologies to finally quit crude oil so wtf?

where

They want you to ignore the human rights abuse these country's dish out

We might be in peak oil right now with more and more EVs, China's economy having huge problems and Russia having to cut production.

Whatever...it's a lie...

We love DW from much from Africa, thank you DW

It's fascinating to see Europeans dreaming of oil production disappearing while simultaneously paying a fortune for electricity. The prices of electricity are highly dependent on oil production, as most power plants are gas-heated, and gas is often a by-product of oil. No investments in oil production mean higher gas prices. Wake up! Renewables cover only roughly 20% of the energy supply, and they are still more expensive. This reminds me of economic suicide, aided by populists and a misinformed population.

Why won't they quite oil? Because the rest of the world won't. The middle east will want to stop burning fossil fuels, at least in intensity, well before the rest of the world. They will keep on making oil as long as the rest of the world does, and the rest of the world won't stop using it unless they find an implement reliable and economical alternatives.

only ignorant people think that clean energies can replace fossil fuels (usually the ones with college degrees)
