What You Need To Know
Roania has announced it is no longer dependent on the Arab world for any of its energy. The last oil powerplant has been shut down, to be replaced by a final nuclear powerplant. The entirety of New Rohan is now powered by either nuclear power, or hydroelectricity in the mountain areas. Said Minister for Energy David Jamison, "We are pleased to announce that The Principality is now completely self-sufficient in terms of energy."
An estimated 250 million dollars was spent every 6 months on purchasing oil from the Arabs. Before the government enforced switch from oil powered cars to alternative energy such as hydrogen fuel cells, the total was somewhere like 7000 million dollars a year. Under the change, anyone with an oil powered car was given an HFC powered car for free, provided by the government and made in government sponsored plants.
Surprisingly, the cars are actually quite good, despite the fact, or perhaps because, they were made by Suboids. Also, anyone who still had an oil car within 16 months of the change was executed.
Minister for Foriegn Affairs Duke Leopold Darquis had this to say about the possibility that Roanian relations with the oil producing nations would become more condescending, "Ha! Absolutely not! We have the utmost respect for those nations, we just consider their culture to be a corrupt parody of what it once was."
A prominent Moslem businessman, Ibn Al-Shafir, said, "Yes, I was worried when the change began. But our lives have actually improved under the new status quo. Long live the Prince! May Allah shine his heavenly light, and guide him to even wiser decisions."
Prince Alexander was reportedly apocalyptic at the suggestion that Allah do anything to him, until Grand Vizier Alysanndra Ellestrea explained that Allah was another name for Jehovah.
