Saudis ask for aid if world cuts dependence on oil

[SlyPokerDog]

There are plenty of needy countries at the U.N. climate talks in Bangkok that make the case they need financial assistance to adapt to the impacts of global warming. Then there are the Saudis.

Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations — demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels.

LOL!! I guess now we know why Iran is going nuclear.

Fuck Saudi Arabia. You don't think they're participating in this move? http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28091.html

There's nothing more I'd love to do than replace our oil plants with nuclear and coal plants all over the country and import all our oil from Canada and Mexico for cars.

That better not happen. Are we getting special treatment for going socialist and bankrupting the country?
