The global petroleum catastrophe caused by Iran in the strait .... Has highlighted the need for alternative energy and alternative transportation.
One proposal is to develop a great pipeline that spans the distance without hitting the ocean at all.
If you look at a map of the straight you can imagine pretty much where the pipeline would go.
My question is this.... If a hostile player will attack gigantic oil freighters effectively enough either to sink them or cripple them what would stop them from dropping a missile or a bomb on any pipeline?
Am I missing something?
