Dubai in 1990








The same street in 2003



Last year



The madness. Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world's cranes.



The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world .



All of this was built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree.




The Palm Islands in Dubai . New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands.

They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space.

Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of th em all.





Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon.





The World Islands . 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world

Each island will have an estimated cost of $25-30 million.






The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai . The worlds tallest hotel.

Considered the only '7 star' hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world.

It stands on an artificial island in the sea.






Hydropolis, the world's first underwater hotel.

Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai , it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.






The Burj Dubai. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to be complete by 2008.

At an estimated height of over 800 meters, it will easily be world's tallest bu ilding when finished.

It will be almost 40 percent taller than the current tallest building, the Yaipei 101.







This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009.

More than 140 stories of the Burj Dubai have already been completed.

It is already the worlds tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year.







The Al Burj. This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront. Once completed it will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai.




?

Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters.

That would make it more than 30 percent taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as the Empire State Building .








The Burj al Alam, or The World Tower . Upon completion it will rank as the world's highest hotel. It is expected to be finished by 2009. At 480 meters it will only be 28 meters shorter than the Taipei 101.








The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah.












Dubailand. Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando , which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with 58,000 employees.





Dubailand will be twice the size.







Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles^2) at an estimated $20 billion price tag. The site will include a purported 45 mega projects and 200 hundred other smaller projects.












Dubai Sports City. A huge collection of sports arenas located in Dubailand.





Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is t he #1 tourist destination in the world. Once fully completed, Dubailand will easily take over that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors daily.





The Dubai Marina is an entirely man made development that will contain over 200 highrise buildings when finished. It will be home to some of the tallest residential structures in the world.

The completed first phase of the project is shown.

Most of the other high rise buildings will be finished by 2009-2010.











The Dubai Mall will be the l argest shopping mall in the world with over 9 million square feet of shopping and around 1000 stores. It will be completed in 2008.











Ski Dubai , which is already open, is the largest indoor skiing facility in the world.

This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned.








Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower , which will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina .

The UAE Spaceport would be the first spa ceport in the world if construction ever gets under way.

And ... The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world. The Dubai World Central International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger volume. There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens.





KINDA GIVES ONE AN INCENTIVE TO CONSERVE DOESN'T IT????
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.
It might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American
goods. We should return the favor.

An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS.

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money
into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just buy from gas companies that
don't import their oil from the Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I
fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to
kill me, my family, and my friends.

I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil
companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies
import Middle Eastern oil.

These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell...................... ....... 205,7 42,000 barrels

Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels

Exxon/Mobil...... ......... 130,082,000 barrels

Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels

Amoco...........................62,231,000 barrels

Citgo gas is from South America , from a Dictator who hates
Americans. If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to
over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel).

Here are so me large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco..................0 barrels

Conoco..................0 barrels

Sinclair...................0 barrels

BP/Phillips.............0 barrels

Hess.................... .0 barrels

ARC0.....................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy
and each is required to state where t hey get their oil and how much
they are importing.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally million s of gas
buyers. It's really simple to do.

Now, don't wimp out at this point . . . keep reading and I'll explain
how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I'm sending this note to about thirty people If each of you send
it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)...and those 300 send it to
at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached
over THREE M ILLION consumers !!!!!!! If those three million get
excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million
people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it . . . THREE HUND RED
MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. How long would
all that take?

o dont forget this , i will buy from tis gas co when i can from now on feed back please Here are some large companies that do not import much Middle Eastern
oil:

· Citgo 0 barrels of oil
· Sunoco 0
· Conoco 0
· Sinclair 0
· Phillips 0
· BP Amoco 62,231,000
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis.
Keep this list in your car; share it with friends.

Stop paying for terrorism!

Wow!

No offense meant Wease but ideas like this will never work and are rather naive to propose.

Fundamentally I agree that oil can be used to fund many things including terrorism. The building spree going on over there is not terrorism, it is capitalism.

I think the facts about terrorism is best learned in this documentary and I suggest everyone get a copy and share it. Islam: What the West Needs To Know
Islam: What the West Needs To Know

Good read, but I am a little confused. If the companies that you listed do not import Middle Eastern Oil, why are their prices just as high or higher per gallon?

[greasemnky]

pssssttttt oil price has nothing to do with production. Saudi's the biggest producers, increases production 300K a day 3 months ago. Did nothing to price. They just raised it another 200K per day, not much effect.

Here's a fun little secret. Remember all the private investors who used to buy and sell your now worthless mortgage? Thus making people think their 150K homes were suddenly worth 500K??

Guess what their buying and selling now Look for the price of oil to collapse shortly, as the new buzz is corn, thanks to the recent floods. And the feds are finally talking about putting the regulations back in place for trading oil that they removed in 2004....oh wait, right about the time the price started to shoot up.

Corns gone up from 5.00 per bushell to 7.00, and expected to hit 12-14. Thats a steeper increase than oil. And they just passed a huge farm bill to pay the 3 biggest producers to basiclly cut supply further. Hmmmmmmmm

Their premise:

"Islam has been trying to take over the world since the 7th century and we're only now just noticing"

Just noticing!?!?!? It's self serving propaganda. the same silly argument could be made of Christianity. The Chinese are doing basically the same thing with the Dalai Lama right now.

Peace, love and home-built-buggies!
