Saudi Arabia has sentenced to death a government critic who denounced alleged corruption and human rights abuses on social media, his brother and others familiar with the case told AFP on Monday.
The judgement was handed down against Mohammed al-Ghamdi in July by the Specialized Criminal Court, a secretive institution established in 2008 to try terrorism cases that has a history of unfair trials resulting in death sentences.
The charges against al-Ghamdi include conspiracy against the Saudi leadership, undermining state institutions and supporting terrorist ideology, sources briefed on the details of the case told AFP.
Why did we send a generations worth of our wealth to these people instead of developing solar and wind?
Conservatism. That’s why.
Better yet, go nuclear.
Same issue with providing countries
There are other alternatives to existing uranium-based nuclear power plants, like thorium which is much more abundant. Because nuclear isn’t mainstream in many places however, none of those alternatives have gained any steam to get built.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m for nuclear, and Thorium seems like a great alternative to uranium even if I haven’t researched it enough, but the issue with uranium is that it’s basically in dictatorships, just like oil
Current uranium reserves are expected to be depleted by the end of the century, at current use.
Fission as a serious replacement for just coal plants is a pipe dream without asteroid mining, and contrary to what people pretend we still don’t have a good answer for the waste, or what to do for developing nations that don’t have the human infrastructure to run them safely.
We need a global fusion research project and orbital solar. Simple as that.
but the issue with uranium is that it’s basically in dictatorships
you have good intentions,
but
“our welth”? 🤡
Solar powered diesel trucks? How is that supposed to work?
Im struggling to see if you are serious and you don’t see how utterly stupid that question is or if you are playing the fool for comical reasons.
Electric semis dude. They are definitely coming.
Because oil is more efficient, simple as that
It was more profitable.

They’re not very enigmatic or opaque. It’s pretty obvious who and what they are without the need for self-torture.
Yeah I didn’t learn anything. My thought was to understand them better, but it was too vapid to learn anything.
That’s a great Idea let created EVEN MORE TERRORIST GROUPS. BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH
Hey remember all those times the US government did business with Saudi Arabia? I wish I could come up with something to say about that that wouldn’t get me visited by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies
Why did ?
As European, I’m laughing or crying, depend, to see we have turned Putin to this…
I wish I could come up with something to say about that that wouldn’t get me visited by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies
Lol what? Yeah, no. That’s silly.
What’s silly is that we keep voting for people who keep selling weapons to terrorists
Ok. Still not going to be visited by several alphabet agencies for criticizing Saudi Arabia on the internet LOL
