Lol Maybe just start investing in solar
ez pz noobs:
When I ever I see this, it makes me think of the abomination Josh (let’s game it out YouTube channel) did

Long term it would be better to just dig a canal through that space, but all of it would still take years to build and isn’t a solution for the current crisis.
I mean all you doing is moving a choke point near Iran for a smaller choke point slightly farther away from Iran. A canal doesn’t really help here.
When you don’t understand how things work, everything seems like a solution.
That explains why my cousin thinks Musk is a genius .
The right cannot grasp the concept of scale. That why they bought the millions of illegal voters idea. A thing can happen, so it can happen a million times, seems logical to them.
they dont actually research the news they see or hear, its just fox, and right wing grifters telling a curated view, and they just go with it.
That’s kind of how they get filtered to Fox. When someone tells you 3 million people were bussed around California to vote illegally, you know they’re full of shit. Because that would take the entire Greyhound bus fleet 3 months to accomplish with no one noticing. It’s an absurd claim that lets you immediately know that source is full of shit, and you move on. If you can’t comprehend scale though, it’s just something you should be angry about, and you want to know who to blame, so you keep watching.
Gotta give him some credit: he’s merely asking if it’s possible, not proposing it as a well-researched solution.
Pipeline to Salalah could work, just a bit expensive and takes a lot of time to build, and border crossings could be a diplomatic thing. But the pipeline would be an easy target for drone strikes and one as long as that is impossible to protect with anti air installations. Salalah - Oman already has a lot of harbor infrastructure (been there 4 times). But currently mostly for containers if I’m correct (last time there was 10 years ago though).
But theoretically it’s possible.
Trucks not so much, a single tanker would take thousands of trucks and there isn’t a straight and paved road through the desert. The trip would take days and loading-unloading would also take time, causing a traffic jam of oil trucks (just like the days long sewage truck traffic jam from the Burj Khalifa).
And don’t forget that ships are still stuck in the gulf.
You can’t just order an oil tanker off Amazon.
It’s not like the entire fleet of oil tankers is there. There are enough tankers to continue the journey after the oil has been transported over land while the stuck tankers can move the oil from the source to the drop-off point.
I thought Saudi Arabia was actually planning an oil pipeline to the Red Sea to avoid the strait of Hormuz a while ago. But seeing the mega projects they planned, which all have turned into failure (as expected) I don’t know what the status of the pipeline is. Boy do they now wish they did that instead of wasting money, time and resources on The Line.
It took me roughly a day, after seeing the original version of it, to clue-in to the pipeline variant.
TigerAce, you’re quicker on the uptake than me.

The solution is about as realistic as one from our own Non-Credible Defense-certified armchair experts.
Once again, we send off my War Rig to bring back guzzoline from Gas Town, and bullets from the Bullet Farm!
How many trucks would be needed to carry the content of a supertanker?
At least two!
Technically correct. It would be at least two.
Its not correct. single truck is adequate. Noone said that the same truck couldnt go back and forth until the tanker is empty.
That reminds me of Tiffany’s marriage agreement with Rob Anybody
At the end of the world is a great big mountain of granite rock a mile high,’ she said. 'And every year, a tiny bird flies all the way to the rock and wipes its beak on it. Well, when the little bird has worn the mountain down to the size of a grain of sand . . . that’s the day I’ll marry you, Rob Anybody Feegle!
It would be less effort to carve out a canal for ships
They’ll want to change the Paris to Dakaar Rally to carry oil on this new route
I wonder how long it would take to build a pipeline, if you were working as fast as humanly possible?
it wont be effective, and it would be easily destroyed by irans missiles.
Depends on how often it was bombed.
Everything works in theory.
