Beach Refrigeration

Yep. You read that right. Beach Refrigeration. 

The Palazzo Versace in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is opening later this year or early 2010. During their warm season temperatures average 104 F and can reach 122 F. Yikes! 

However, no fear. This resort is installing a network of computer-controlled heat-absorbing pipes under the sand to keep you comfortable. It's amazing what the rich will do. The extravagances in this part of the world are unbelievable. 

This country gives very little thought to the environment. They continually manipulate the earth to suit the desires of its residents. This environmentally uncool project will add to Dubai's already mammoth size carbon footprint, which amounts to 44 tons of CO2 per person per year. By contrast, the average American generates 20 tons of greenhouse gases per year and we are at the high end.  Crazy.
