Any country or region having to invest in power generation and considering coal-fired or nuclear (PWR) installations, will have to site them near a large source of fresh water, of which they use significant quantities in cooling the useless, low temperature waste heat from the steam turbines. They should be aware of a nuclear technology which uses gas turbines to drive the electricity generators. The ‘waste’ heat from gas turbines is high temperature and capable of producing potable water from desalination plants free-of-charge!

You really don't understand the totality of the situation unless you accept that this is not limited to the Middle East. Young men everywhere experience this regardless of race, nationality, religion, or any other consideration, due to their marginalisation as a group over the past fifty years due to technological, political, and economic factors outside of their control. The older generations are going to reap what they have sewn and the more industrious and adaptable of us youngsters will make a killing due to the wars and social instability that's coming.
