UAE energy security lies in diversification | The National:
"During last winter’s rain, I suffered a power cut. That meant evenings by candlelight, atmospheric at first but tedious after a while, and no internet or tap water (the pump wouldn’t work). Fortunately, the weather was cool and air conditioning unnecessary.
This made me reflect on a more serious scenario – a major interruption to electricity and water supplies across the country. This could come from a natural disaster such as an earthquake or storm, an accident such as an oil spill, sabotage or military action.
The UAE, as a major oil and gas producer, might appear immune from a physical cut-off of supplies, a danger menacing Europe during its confrontation with Russia. But it is a small country, in an often volatile area, and with a hostile climate."
