Shameful for Saudi company why Saudi Co not investment in Pakistan here Is Poor ness And Job less Thousands person
we shouldn't be sending food anywhere until all Americans have food first.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
America is not a good place to do business.
Lol good luck
And you want Saudi to increase oil production 😂 ppl will never be fair
Finally… a moment of common sense
This is happening in Portland, Texas, except Abbot is completely sold out to the Saudis. They take 25 Million Gallons of water a day to make single use plastics. Meanwhile, the residents of this South Texas region are on drought restrictions under the threat of fines.
I brought this to the attention of local Municipalities years ago only to fall on deaf ears! Even AZ PBS did a report on this many years ago with local property owners trucking in water because Saudi companies drilled the deepest wells in the state.
It’s about time this was taken seriously and I believe the property owners who have been effected for digging deeper wells should be compensated by Saudi Arabia!
We buy their oil, they buy our water.
What a world.
Sad News, hope Saudi Arabia will able to recover this problem
it's not free, everything is paid for.
In fact, they over price the rent and the resources that would never been used. Apparently, the governor needs votes in the upcoming elections.
We also need to stop funding israel billions of dollars. Let’s start there…
Let the Saudi's sue – it will be held up in court for years. The Saudi's can go to some other country and look for water. The US needs to keep their water for the US. The money the State MAY BE MAKING will not mean a thing once the water is gone.
Who bloody cares
Will that give u more water
Saudi will start farming on desert with china help
This is nothing considered what you have been drilling from middle east.
EVERY GOV SHOULD be suspicious of FOREIGN dictatorships INVESTNG IN THEIR STATE.
Took so long to do something about it. Grease the shoulders of the right people and you can do whatever you want
