Picture: Zero Carbon City
Masdar City will be constructed in the desert on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. The aims are to use only renewable energy sources, and to eliminate 99% of the waste stream. This artist's impression shows wind turbines on the edge of the city and public transport links running through. The six-square-kilometer city designed by Foster and Partners, will be capable of housing 47,500 people, who are scheduled to start moving there in 2009. Construction is expected to take 10 years. The city will be placed to take advantage of the cool sea breezes, while a perimeter wall around the entire city will protect buildings from the hot desert air and noise from the nearby Abu Dhabi airport.
No cars will be allowed in the city. People will get around through an electric light-rail system that will be linked to the center of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Well you try and get Gordon Brown to understand this logic!
As a nation we intend too spend £100bn on building new nuclear reactors all at the tax payers expense. Now a simple calculation of what are our requirements for electricity divided by the number of Sqmts of roof we have in the UK and hey presto. If the government had fitted too every roof in the country a free solar panel too produce electricty & hot water, we wouldn't need the nuc's and it will save us TAX payers £bn's.
Oh well too logical for government. Vote me in "THE COMMON SENSE PARTY" who wants too stand at their local election. We can guarantee to cut income tax too ZERO and reduce VAT too 15% but it's payable on everything.
How many votes do i get, go on send me your reply. I like a challenge
