The hope is that a pool of educated workers--plus Masdar's favorable tax policies--will draw green companies to the desert, where they will be able to test their ideas in an environmental Utopia. "There is a visionary component to it," says Frank Mastiaux, CEO of climate and renewables for E.ON, a German energy company. "Masdar and Abu Dhabi have set themselves incredibly high expectations.
