I'm not defending Dubai's extravagance, but I do believe some good things are coming out of it. Due to the country's high energy usage (an understatement, sure), the United Arab Emirates is becoming one of the forefront developers of renewable energy in the Middle East. By 2050, an expected 50 percent of the Emirates' required energy is forecasted to come from renewable sources. For example, in Dubai, massive wind turbines will soon be utilized to generate electricity for tall skyscrapers, and houses completely powered by solar energy will soon be available for purchase. And at UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, the development of a $350 million solar power plant is already underway, as well as the first attempt to create a walled zero-carbon, zero-waste research city, expected to open in late 2009.
