But the fruits of the Saudis’ research and development in this sector will inform technological progress in other nations as well.“Maybe the net-zero carbon equation might not be reached,” Taylor says. But at the same time, Taylor saw a nation striving to become a global leader in renewable energy technologies.Some of that investment is intended to offset emissions associated with continued oil production. The kingdom isn’t giving up its hold of the global oil market – far from it. “It was just kind of hard to believe.”Some of what he found confirmed his skepticism. I always like it when an author is able to read their own work and actually give it personality.Today’s lead story almost didn’t happen.When Taylor Luck, the Monitor’s Middle East reporter, heard that Saudi Arabia was attempting to “go green,” he was intrigued – but dubious.As the world’s second-largest producer of oil, Saudi Arabia is “often seen as the spoiler to progress on climate,” he says. An excellent book brought excellently to life, and by its author no less.
The author knows what is or her characters should sound like and Judy does them justice, from Peter to his parents, even Fudge's temper tantrums. I've always been rather skeptical of authors reading their own novels since some just don't have the voice for it (Stephen King comes to mind for me rather quickly as does Douglas Adams), but Judy, though she took a little bit of getting used to, grew on me.
Audible had this book, read by the lady of the hour herself. Such misadventures include Fudge causing Peter's advertiser father to lose a potential client, to jumping off a set of monkey bars and losing a few of his own teeth, culminating in an act so bizarre even now I find it hard to imagine. It tells the story of Peter Hatcher and the trials and tribulations he goes through having a little brother like Farley Drexel AKA Fudge. I've been a fan of this book since a teacher read it to me and the rest of my class when I was in, fittingly enough, the fourth grade.
