This city-in-a-skyscraper will consume 37,000MWH/year, with a 15MW peak usage, but as the plans show, it has been designed to generate most of it using wind, thermal, and solar power:

Is your cousin an oil baron, or a sheik?

Do you fly emirates? Because they're meant to be the 3rd best airline in the world and way above anything we experience on the western ones.

This is just a proposal for a building, made in a forum for architects. I don't think any engineer team yet would be good enough to make calculations and build something like that yet. It defies the laws of physics.

Singapore Airlines still holds the airline award for best airline though.

The ambition of those with the money in Dubai means that they'll give it a try at least. Nobody thought they'd be able to do some of their previous works. Only time will tell if this works or not obviously but If anybody can make it happen, these guys can.
