Millions of people in Saudi Arabia are bracing for the worst as the country's energy crisis deepens. The crisis is a direct result of the kingdom's reliance on oil exports, which have been severely impacted by the global shift towards renewable energy.

The rebuff has left Saudi Arabia with few options, according to coverage from The New York Times. Alternative routes are being explored to keep oil moving, as reported by The Portugal News.

The energy crisis has also led to concerns about Saudi Arabia's ability to meet its domestic energy needs, as highlighted by The Times of Israel. The question now is whether Saudi Arabia can find a way to mitigate the crisis and avoid a complete collapse of its economy.
