Although their support for renewables is well known, their lack of opposition (and even support in the case of the Jordan Green Party) for oil shale is a convenient anti-nuclear coalition: such that it betrays the very prospects of what environmentalists seek to achieve, ecologists strive to improve. It is ultimately shocking that Jordan would consider burning oil shale to generate electricity when much cleaner methods (nuclear, natural gas, solar and wind) could easily plug that gap: leaving oil shale to produce more noble products.
