While we sleep our future away, UAE is creating Solar and Renewable Energy city near Dubai called Sustainable City.

Arabs use Western EDUCATION to better their lives while Nigerians have Boko Haram and Almajiri: UNEDUCATED and pitiful.

Tell our mis-leaders that Solar is the future and we must use our hot sun to do good things for us like electricity and water heating.

=========================================================================


........... But the United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to change that reputation, with a range of projects aimed at having more than 40% of the country's energy come from renewable sources and cutting consumption by the same margin by 2050.

Opened to the first residents in 2016 and to be fully completed next year, the initiative dubbed Sustainable City is a private settlement on the outskirts of Dubai designed to use as little energy and water as possible.

Comprising 500 low-lying villas that are home to nearly 3,000 people, as well as commercial spaces and a mosque, the city aims to be a "net-zero" settlement, producing all the energy it needs from renewable sources on site.

"The Sustainable City is a living laboratory for testing future technologies and solutions," said Karim El-Jisr, head of SEE Institute, the research arm of the city's developer, Diamond Developers.

When the project started six years ago, building a zero-energy development "seemed a bit like a dream", he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

"Today it is not difficult anymore, tomorrow everybody will have to do it," he added.

From neighbouring Masdar City to the Qatari capital Doha, it is one of several developments launched across the region in recent years that aim to serve as a model for environmentally- friendly living in the Middle East.

.... In the Sustainable City, residents zig zag through the streets on bicycles or aboard small electric carts, under the shade of the palm trees flanking the strips of square, white houses. Cars are banned from most of the area.

All buildings and parking spaces are topped by solar panels which feed the energy they produce into the grid, allowing residents to pay only the difference between what they produce and consume, according to the developer.

Residential units designed to avoid direct exposure to the sun and covered in paint that reflects sunlight to keep the heat out, while wastewater is recycled to irrigate green areas, El-Jisr said during a visit to the site.

Resident Belinda Boisson said she paid more rent than the Dubai average but, besides sustainability, the development offered a family-friendly environment and sense of community that was rare to find among Dubai's high rises.

"(Children) can play outside without me worrying about my daughter being hit by a car," said Boisson, a 46-year-old expat from South Africa.

...."If this can be done in a desert environment that is difficult for humans to inhabit... it can be done everywhere," she said.

We can also adopt Geothermal energy production!!

Naija is long gone.
All we need now is peaceful dissolution of this country.
Or a confederate style of leadership

Hmmm

This government is already doing solar powered grids in some universities and large markets.

Ur title said it all. To drop any advisory to this govt of the day, will bring forth further depression. Hence Siddon look approach.
