...says the U.A.E. has the biggest per capita carbon footprint in the world, and parched Abu Dhabi uses more water per person than anywhere else. There are no plans to put a price on carbon, as even the U.S. is considering. Lehmann and others would prefer to see Masdar spend its billions greening Abu Dhabi itself, not building an entirely new settlement in vacant desert. "We have to have every city be an eco-city," Lehmann says...
...network; it's a business network. And unlike, say, college students, we actually have jobs. What's the point of networking with people who can't hire you? Not that we'd want to work with anyone your age anyway.

But you may prefer to skip the history and simply admire the stunningly beautiful automobiles. Car lovers can spend all day taking in models such as the 356 No. 1 Roadster (released in 1948, it was the first sports car ever to bear the Porsche name), an armada of 917 racing cars, and numerous variations on the iconic 911, whose shape still best captures the Porsche spirit...
