Egypt is at energy cross-road; it faces choices about what energy sources it will use in the future. Conventional fuels are becoming increasingly expensive and there is recognition that these fuel resources are finite. Some estimates indicate that indigenous natural gas and oil reserves, on which Egypt's electricity generation currently relies, will run out in about 30 or 40 years , making the transition to alternative energy sources a pressing need to avoid stagnant economic development.

Greenpeace commissioned a report from the Worldwide Alliance for Decentralized Energy (WADE) to show a range of energy options for Iran. The study demonstrates the benefits of policies that encourage the uptake of renewable energy, decentralized energy systems and energy efficiency. These benefits include protection of the environment and human health and reducing capital costs while still meeting the energy needs of Iranian people and industry.

The goal of a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in the Middle East, and more generally a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) free zone in the Middle East, has been repeatedly affirmed by all states involved as well as the international community at the highest political levels. Yet instead of movement towards this goal, security analysts and popular media headlines indicate a trend towards proliferation of WMD in the Middle East. Greenpeace believes that a Nuclear Free Zone is a condition for a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in the region and therefore is also a condition for a WMD Free Zone in the Middle East.
