翻译下这段吧
However, the greatest potential source of instability lies at home. The Gulf states are now trying to follow a mind-bending economic trajectory. They plan to expand fossil-fuel production for 20 or so years and then slash it after 2045. It is possible to see how this would work in theory: the huge rents would need to be quickly reinvested in a high-tech economy based on renewable power, hydrogen and desalination systems, which has enough dynamism to create millions of jobs for a bulge of young people. In practice the task is monumental. Even if it worked, it would put the Paris-agreement climate targets far beyond reach.
然而，不稳定的最大潜在根源在于国内。海湾国家现在正试图遵循一条令人费解的经济轨迹。他们计划在20年左右的时间里扩大化石燃料的生产，然后在2045年后大幅削减生产。在理论上来说，这是可行的：巨额租金需要迅速再投资于基于可再生能源、氢和海水淡化系统的高科技经济，这种经济有足够的活力为大量年轻人创造数百万个工作岗位。在实践中，这项任务很艰巨。即使它产生了预期的结果，也将令巴黎协议的气候目标遥不可及。
