**HEADLINE: OMAN’S $2.3 TRILLION BLUE BET**
**SNIPPET:**
“While the world chases AI tokens, Oman is betting on a finite resource worth more than all the gold ever mined: water. The Sultanate just activated Phase II of the world’s largest desalination plant in Al Ghubrah. Target: 300,000 cubic meters per day. But the real headline is the ‘Oman Battery’—an ambitious $500M plan to pump seawater into a mountain cavern to generate hydroelectricity. No lithium. No rare earths. Just rock and gravity. The Gulf’s quietest nation just wired itself into the global resource bottleneck. Memo to shareholders: Water wars are coming. Oman is selling the ammo, not fighting the war.”
