Nevertheless, the conversion of saltwater into freshwater is a well-known energy-intensive process. In the Arabian Peninsula, where water is scarce, desalination does in fact play a major role in carbon emissions. For this reason, Saudi Arabia has been making investments in renewable energy to run its desalination facilities. Sultan Al-Rajhi, a spokesman for the Saudi Water Authority, told Arab News that "using renewable energies for desalination is crucial as it contributes to reducing the operation's carbon footprint and water production costs." He said that saltwater desalination is necessary to meet demand because freshwater resources are limited in an area where the population is expanding quickly. Because of the desert climate, where

 Prince Harry goes after his mother Princess Diana's critique of the Royal family When Prince Harry fights with members of the Royal family, including his mother Princess Diana, he is accused of repeating history. According to a royal specialist, Prince Harry appears to be continuing his mother Princess Diana's criticism of the Royal family. Royal scholar Tom Quinn discussed how the Duke of Sussex's public conflict with the Royal Family is a historical recurrence in an interview with The Mirror. "Harry's statement in Spare that he 'wants peace' with the royal family for his mother's sake is certainly sincere, but by concentrating so much on Diana, Harry is really letting history repeat itself," the man said. Quinn pointed out that by concentrating on his mother's struggles and legacy, Harry is ignoring his own route to reconciliation. He said, "Diana spent a significant portion of her adult life criticising an institution she felt had le
