With its world's tallest building nearing completion, Dubai said Sunday it is embarking on an even more ambitious skyscraper: one that will soar more than 10 American football fields.

That's about two-thirds of a mile or the height of more than three of New York's Chrysler Buildings stacked end-to-end.

"..."

The area is located between two of the city's artificial palm-shaped islands, which Nakheel also built. The project will include a manmade inland harbor and 40 additional towers up to 90 floors high.

About 150 elevators will carry employees and workers to the Nakheel Tower's more than 200 floors, the company said. The building will be composed of four separate towers joined at various levels and centered on an open atrium.

"..."

The final height of Nakheel's proposed tower is likewise a secret, as is the price tag. The company would only say it will be more than a kilometer (3,281 feet) tall.

Haha, yeah nice timing too. While americans are facing an economic depression, and lining up for food rations, they're busy splashing out on yet another skyscraper.

Even if we got off gas tomorrow and only needed our own produced oil for silly shit, that would only account for roughly a 25% drop in other countries oil profits. Not all of which goes to the middle east anyways. Now with China, India and the like really coming into being gas dependant countries. It would not take long at all for them to eat up that void our leaving would of caused.

Not to mention word really is Dubai is a plan to continue their wealth production when oil tappers off anyways. You know the whole adapt or die crap.
