Hi again,

The case of the Arab world is really pathetic! Simply we do not own technology neither in nuclear energy (which I think it have bad future) or other renewable energy utilization despite the fact that we have some shy project.

Let me talk about current and future project in the Arab world, I will start with Jordan. We have in Jordan a company called Jordan biogas, its contribution to the power generation is less than 1% , nevertheless a private company is studying to establish a large wind power plant. Projects like Jordan biogas is being tested in Syria, Yemen, and Egypt.

It’s true that we do not own technology but fortunately we have a large sunshine coverage which could be traded with power from Europe, this is what is currently in the plans of France that hopes to install solar panels in large areas in the African Sahara in Algiers and Libya. I think that there is a big solar power project to be started in UAE by European investors.

But you know what, nothing is clear, we have a tough challenge that I do not think we are prepared for.

Do not worry about Europe. There are good target figures for 2020 and before to enforce in renewable energy utilization and some of these figures is expected not only to be achieved but to be also passed by higher figures, for example Germany is planning to have 25% of its energy to be produced from renewable resources by 2020 in addition to its 17 nuclear reactors, in UK they are arguing weather to go nuclear or to search in other fields, and they have reasonably good results in wind and wave power. However their target is to have 10% of UK’s electricity to be generated from renewable energy by 2010.

The case is different in the energy hungry china their oil is not enough anymore and they are relying on Saudi Arabia and Iran for its supply, I think they are targeting Iranian gas for the future.

For our children, immigration is better for them, am sad to say this but we have no chance now and we’ll have no chance in the near future, we are dead we do not respect scientific facts, we do not respect each other, and we do not respect the others. We can not communicate professionally, we do not have industries we do not produce enough food to feed ourselves. Do you think that Jordan or Egypt can provide wheat to its people without the USAID!

Forgive me but am so pessimistic regarding the future of our region.
