I have a sneaking suspicion that when the price of gasoline reaches a point where alternative cleaner and renewable fuels become cheap, you'll see those houses get turned into McDonalds. Seriously though, in economics, there's a theory of replacement...when a commodity becomes so expensive that replacements are cheaper, those replacements also hit an economy of scale and efficiency that ensures that their prices become lower and their quality higher.Comment

WOW, what a place

My suspicion would be that the same people that own those homes have their hand in the alternative feul market also.Originally posted by $5 submissionsI have a sneaking suspicion that when the price of gasoline reaches a point where alternative cleaner and renewable fuels become cheap, you'll see those houses get turned into McDonalds.

I'm sure some do. But market forces can tolerate 100+ per barrel price for so long before they look into other sources. While there may be conflicts of interests, Im sure the law of supply and demand would gravitate to a solution that isn't corrupted by current hoarders/players.Originally posted by StatsJunkyMy suspicion would be that the same people that own those homes have their hand in the alternative feul market also.

Don't forget about this.
"Golden Star is rumored to cost more than $300 million and is built for
Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.
This area with Saudi, Bahrain, Kuwait and the Emirates will soon be "The Mecca" even for Megayachts."

Dubai has more money than one could ever dream of.
Within 6 years there will be no more oil left there. Have you noticed no city compares the the luxuries of Dubai's hotels? They're erecting over 40 new towers on the beach to make it a European hot-spot.ICQ: 2262.73945Comment

Beautiful place and it's only a matter of time til we switch from oilComment

For clarification
1) That building is not a house, its the Emiates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi:

2) If you guys think the UAE will go broke once the oil is all gone, think again.. The Emirate of Dubai for example only makes 10% of its yearly income from oil now-a-days... the rest is tourism, free trade and technology."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

Oh, and that image there you see.. that you call a "palace".. Thats the entrance area ;)
THIS is the hotel ...

And like Scotty said, its a Kempinski hotel, of course less than 50% ownership by them, since you can only open a company in UAE if you give 51% to a UAE citizen.. I bet the Emirate of Abu Dhabi owns most of it."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

In the meantime, there will now be strong consumer pressure to create more efficient vehicles that don't compormise safety, style or performance.
