Oil-Rich Persian Gulf Looks to Renewables to Avert Water Crisis - Bloomberg Business:
"Why are the oil-rich countries of the Persian Gulf region announcing ambitious plans for renewable energy when the fossil fuels they produce are so cheap?

“Increasing renewables generation can substantially reduce water withdrawal,” said Adnan Amin, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency, which is based in Abu Dhabi. “Water is a very expensive commodity in this part of the world and extensively used in the energy sector. Commercial use of renewables can greatly reduce this.”"
