"In April, 2006, the government of Abu Dhabi launched the Masdar Initiative, a landmark program to establish an entirely new economic sector dedicated to alternative and sustainable energy.

The Masdar Initiative offers a proactive response to today's energy and environmental challenges and is being driven by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC), a company wholly-owned by the government of Abu Dhabi through Mubadala Development Company. "

The planned Masdar City, which means "the source" in Arabic, will be the home to some 47,500 residents.

Masdar City is to be multi-level, with a light rail on one level moving people in and out of the city with pedestrians at ground level. In addition to solar power, wind turbines and waste-to-energy plants will be employed to generate power.

  • Hmm, I wonder why 66% don't think this is news worthy? Maybe someone that's voting "Don't Like It" could leave a comment?

    Just curious.

  • You gotta love UAE. An oil producing country investing in renewable source of energy. I think they're starting to see the big picture that someday the world will turn away from oil
