Now he was standing over a 10-megawatt solar farm in the desert outside Abu Dhabi, with row after row of solar panels angled to the Middle East sun like bathers lying poolside. The solar farm was the first tangible evidence of Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, a $22 billion project that is planned to be the first zero-carbon footprint, totally renewably powered settlement - a monument...
