No more Oil in Holy land?
Dec. 9th, 2007 by Al 
Israel troubled relations in Middle east with her neighbours will not be plain sailing given her lack of oil and energy embargoes from her arab neighbours.
Negev which is the southern desert of israel can turn solar energy into a renewable powerhouse in the sparesly inhabited region.14 hour sun days and 360 summer per year testify this making Defence minister Eliezer positive about the trend away from fossil fuel.
The minister predicted in less than a few decades , oil and natural gas will disappear worldwide and Israel will be on top of the renewable agenda.In 2020, no more fossil energy will be used in the holy land so he cited.
Israel will do well to collaborate in renewable energy research and funding with her arab neighbours whose oil wealth can be served to make a successful crossover to the peak oil era.Much can be gained on either sides if politics can be put aside for the betterment of their own people,
Personally I’m skeptical about Israel completely weaning off from fossil energy, no country even USA with her high tech capabilities can do it alone.It takes worldwide concerted efforts and making changes in lifestyle to make the leap.And time is running out as we speak.
