prior to the OPEC Embargo of the 1970s, Dubai was a fishing village. When our politicians were killing off the alternative energy programs during that same decade, there began a wholesale transfer of wealth out of the United States. Now that the equity draw-down is almost complete, your elected representatives want you to believe that they have the answer. They want you to ignore the fact that they are almost wholly owned and operated by those controlling the incumbent energy concerns. They want you to accept the notion that "too much dependence on foreign oil" is a new revelation as if it wasn't the hot topic during the 1970s. Perhaps they are right and the electorate does have the attention span of a gnat. Look and see what a tenfold increase in the price per gallon of gas is buying you now.

I was in Dubai in 1999 and it was nothing like the photos in the video. Most of this unreal created area has taken place in the last 8 years.
When I was there there were lots of construction going on and cranes everywhere but there was nothing indicating the building of the palm tree islands or such insane stuff as they have now. There is even an indoor ski resort. Aren't we wonderful to provide the wealth to do those things.....
