OIL IN SOMALIA!

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Oil is still valuable today but will grow less and less valuable in the coming decades. Too bad Somalia didn't jump on that cash cow earlier

Yeah the value of oil has considerably dropped due to an increase in global supply.

The yanks have discovered vast amounts of oil in Texas & they're most likely going to become self-sufficient in oil production in the coming years.

So basically thats one major potential customer thats of the list if we're gonna sell our non-extistent oil.
:siilaanyosmile:

 

[Lord Flacko]

See this is the plan.


Get oil and sell it all. The price will sooner or later rise up again. And remember Somalia will be getting into the oil business at the same time other countries are using up their oil supply.

Use solar panels and wind farms to generate our own energy.

It's a win-win.

Oil exploration will do more damage to the environment and it's a relatively short boom. They should invest in water infrastructure because every time there's a drought you can't just be praying to Allah swt to bring rain and people shouldn't be sending money to put a bandage on it. If there's an oil spill it would cause a huge tragedy.

No its not. Oil is the rocket to launch us into a better future. It won't do much damage to the environment, and we got lots of big empty useless land either way.

Invest in water infrastructure with what money?

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

Truth to be told, the way things are going that i'm afraid the ground water itself won't be able to sustain us in the near future if we don't restore the water table and harvest the rainwater.

So it's pretty much useless? Yaab, we are fucked.

 

[Assata]

Renewable energy is cheaper, cost effective, and there will be immediate results for the people because there will be a good economy and good jobs. Imagine there's an oil spill and a drought at the same time?

I'm not arguing against reknewable energy.
But we don't have the funds to harness solar and wind power.
But we can always contract oil companies to extract the oil for us.
An oil spill would be devastating but a famine would be a larger devastion and beggars can't be choosers.
People could die because of this drought and we're sitting on large oil reserves.
After we're done being in such a precarious situation than we can move on to the future of reknewable energy but not when we're teetering on the edge of devastation.

 

[Hemaal]

Israel has a drier climate than we do but manage to produce more water than they need. Somalia need to heavily invest in desalination process to combat drought and oil money can help in that regard, also more plants

how you gonna compare God's chosen people with the most cursed on the planet?

 

[Mr.Haggis]

how you gonna compare God's chosen people with the most cursed on the planet?

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[Steamdevolopment]

how you gonna compare God's chosen people with the most cursed on the planet?

God's chosen people is an example to follow, not a comparison.

I'm putting out future policies but climate change is going to be lit:

Miyaad miyir la'adahay? Oil spills will wreak havoc on the environment and the livestock. Oil causes pollution which causes poor air quality and it negatively impacts the atmosphere. Quality of life will greatly decline and right now oil prices are low so it would cause major damage for little economic impact in the long run.

Somalia could be Africa's wind capital

Oil spills rarely happen.

You literally didn't even read my post you just qouted.

We're going to sell the oil.

At least the yanks won't have an incentive for spreading "freedom" all over the world anymore :siilaanyolaugh:

So how would drilling for oil help stop famines and droughts? Desalination and harvesting rain water, even converting sea water into drinkable water is the answer not drilling for oil. Companies will invest in wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources because the global devastation is very apparent right now. The record amount of refugees has something to do with climate change.

I don't think it's worth drilling the oil to sell it. Oil spills may be rare but the risk isn't worth the cost.

 

[maestro]

Oil is still gonna be valuable lol. Where do you think Plastic comes from? There is also road asphalt.

Though it's gonna become cheap and economically unreliable it's still gonna have some demand

 

[Lord Flacko]

Do you know how valuable that shit is? Oil is literally the only material worth the risks. And 99.99999% of the time there are no risks.

Oil = money and power
Money and power = everything


Who the f*ck gives a shit about global warming. Somalis should be cheering that shit on wallahi

The things you are mentioning are very costly technologies, that the richest countries in the world havent been able to afford/perfect. No one would be willing to do the same for Somalia without return. You need money invest in renewable energy. The difference with oil is that it provides incentive for companies to produce/exploit. The same doesnt exist with renewable energies.

 

[merka]

Doesn't everyone agree that water is gonna be the most valuable resource in the coming decades? Water wars are coming

Definitely. Fresh water is going to be more valuable than oil in the distant future.

Somalis better get their shit together and take over the major water sources in Ethiopia and Kenya or else we're going extinct.

What can we do with this large underground water we found? What would their uses be?

It can be used for drinking water for the people and livestock. Irrigation for grazing plants. We can make Sool and Sanaag green again with proper water management.

I agree reknewable energy is better for the environment and is a longer and more profitable venture than oil.
But it only accounts for 25% of the worlds energy supply and the returns and capital gains aren't instantaneous. And it's best left for devolped countries to tackle on.
Oil is fast money and with the famine turning into a drought.
We need quick money asap.

I have no problem with drilling oil but it shouldn't be a priority. People right now are dying of thirst, oil isn't going to help in the short term.

 

[merka]

Proper water management will keep the ground water table stable. If we can keep the thousands of cubic meters of water from flowing into the ocean each year we'd be able to renew ground water levels.

 

[Shamis]

Oil is needed to power desalination on a large scale, if we have oil it's a win win situation.
