More and more buildings are now being designed with a small or zero energy footprint. So it is just a matter of time before someone design a postive energy building. No we are not talking about good karma here. This building will actually generate more energy than it will consume. This building will be the centerpiece of the eco-friendly zero waste, zero carbon emission Masdar City, which is a $22 billion development outside of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi also happens to be one of the world's largest producers of oil. Recently it has started to diversify its economy through investments in financial services and tourism. If an oil-producing country is doing that, the rest of the world should seriously think about alternative, renewable energy. I wonder if I would see such a shift in my lifetime.
