You'll all be laughing rich to a very early grave. These energy extravagant projects are the last thing that mankind needs if it is to survive. And developing nations should not follow the same mistaken paths that the rich, including the room-temperature-IQ'd fools in Dubai, have followed. Haven’t you guys heard of climate change?
