Tell us how Lockheed's fusion process would have anything more than a negligible impact on the Saudi economy?
Petroleum isn't used for power generation. Fusion can't produce plastic feedstocks. But fusion can be an economical means of desalinization.
Actually, the Saudis would probably be a major market for the fusion units.
Jubail desalination plants use fuel gas (plenty of it available) and flash evaporation. You want to re-inject the xcess FG?
