More horrid news - #SaudiArabia is driving a huge #global investment plan to create demand for its #oil and #gas in developing countries, an undercover investigation has revealed. Critics said the plan was designed to get countries “hooked on its harmful products”."

Jut like #tobacco, no? (I am personally hooked on tobacco, so I know what I'm talking about)

Little was known about the oil demand sustainability programme ( #ODSP ) but the investigation obtained detailed information on plans to drive up the use of #FossilFuel - powered cars, buses and planes in #Africa and elsewhere, as #rich countries increasingly switch to clean energy.

The #ODSP plans to accelerate the development of supersonic air travel, which it notes uses three times more jet fuel than conventional planes, and partner with a carmaker to mass produce a cheap combustion engine vehicle. Further plans promote power ships, which use polluting heavy fuel oil or gas to provide electricity to coastal communities.

The ODSP is overseen by Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, the crown prince Mohammed bin #Salman, and involves its biggest organisations, such as the $700bn Public Investment Fund, the world’s largest oil company, Aramco, the petrochemicals firm Sabic, and the government’s most important ministries.
