Bye Bye Dubai

The bigger, brasher and taller they build, the harder they will fall. The lesson from the Towel of Babel has not been learnt yet, and will never be learnt it seems.

"In Dubai last month, a fireworks display was so enormous it could only truly be appreciated from the heavens (literally—it was visible from space). The occasion was the opening of the $1.5 billion Atlantis resort complex on an enormous artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree.

This caught my eyes today. Energy from the ocean tides and currents. This is perenial. As long as the earth spins round the sun and the moon around the earth there will always be tides. How to tap into this perpetual motion is the answer to the search.
