The United Arab emirates has started construction of it's 'green city' named Masdar City which will be carbon neutral. This is great news for the climate.

The city will use solar panels and wind turbines to generate the needed electricity. Water will be provided through a solar-powered desalination plant.

It is evident that a great deal of thought has been put into this project, as they have even developed modern city walls capable of steering of the hot desert winds and letting in the cooler northern breeze dynamically.

We are creating a city where residents and commuters will live the highest quality of life with the lowest environmental footprint.

The Climate Post hopes the construction will continue as planned and that all of the inventions and investments made into the renewable energy sector will lower the price for renewable energy for the rest of us as well.
