Masdar to be first carbon free City...

Interesting news from CNN via Money Magazine that the Middle Eastern nation of Abu Dhabi is creating the very first carbon free city, Masdar. I recommend reading the article but some interesting parts from it:

Masdar is still on the drawing board -- construction begins in January, with a very tentative completion date of 2009 -- but the result will be watched closely around the world.

The 3.7-square-mile city, called Masdar, will cut its electricity bill by harnessing wind, solar, and geothermal energy, while a total ban on cars within city walls should reduce the long-term health costs associated with smog.
