With the United States currently attempting to adopt alternative energy, Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal al-Saud said the U.S. has to admit that it is dependent on Mideastern oil, particularly that of Saudi Arabia’s.

The Prince, a former envoy to Washington, said this in an article in the Italian newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore, on Friday. He wrote, “there is no technology on the horizon which can replace oil to satisfy colossal needs of U.S. industry, transport and armed forces. Any future scenario will be characterized by mix of renewable and non-renewable energies whether you like it or not.”
Prince Turki also said energy independence was an unrealistic, harmful and groundless concept.
“Whether you like it or not, the destinies of the United States and Saudi Arabia are linked and will remain (linked) for decades,” he said.
The United States is the biggest consumer of energy, while Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest exporter of oil.
