Zur Spitze lagen im letzten Jahr 80 Schiffe in/vor Newcastle und mussten bis zu einen Monat auf Kohle warten. Klingt unwirtschaftlich.
Zitat:Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia, may be the biggest coal
export terminal in the world's biggest coal-exporting country, but
even it is having trouble keeping up with demand. The line of ships
waiting to load coal can stretch almost to Sydney, 150 kilometres to
the south. At its peak last year, there were 80 vessels in the queue,
each forced to lie idle for up to a month.

klingt wie nachhaltige Energiewirtschaft, nicht?
Zitat:China is facing its worst-ever power shortage as winter weather puts
pressure on dwindling coal supplies.
Officials say reserves are down to emergency levels with only enough
coal to power the entire country for another eight days.
[...]
Coal provides 78 per cent of China's energy needs, and the country
is the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal.
[...]
Already, according to some estimates, China is opening an average
of one new coal-fired power station a week.

Laut Reuters haben die Saudis alle Agrarsubventionen gestoppt und planen,
2016 ganz auf Importe zu setzen.
Zitat:Peak water may have taken place in Saudi Arabia already more than
10 years ago.
According to recent news from Reuters (2008) the Saudi government
has decided to stop all subsidies to agriculture. It means abandoning
a policy that had obtained self sufficiency in food production and
that had allowed Saudi Arabia to be a major food exporter in the
past. According to Reuters, "The kingdom aims to rely entirely on
imports by 2016".
"From this paper, we learn that water production in Saudi Arabia has
reached a peak in the early 1990s, at more than 30 billion cubic
meters per year, and declined afterwards. Today, it is at around
15 billion cubic meters, less than half than the peak value. We
also learn that most of this water, 90% at the peak, came from non
renewable aquifers."
"According to the "Encyclopedia of Earth" (2007) the total groundwater
reserves of Saudi Arabia can be estimated as about 500 billion cubic
meters, of which 340 billion are considered as recoverable. Indeed,
the graph of water production can be extrapolated for a total
production of ca. 350 billion cubic meters."

90% des zur Spitzenzeit produzierten Wasser kam aus unterirdischen und
sich nicht wieder auffüllenden Reservoirs.
