So every drop of the Burj's shown water features and every speck of greenery is going to be supplied by desalinization? Entirely gas/oil driven (some hemming and hawing, but mostly anti-nuke). Mideast export capacity will indeed decline much faster than field collapse alone.
Thanks for the clips from Thailand. As for the Koreans... supposedly the tour guides don't acknowledge the existence of the Ryungong. You ask about the 100-storey pyramid, they stare you down and talk about something else.

Only about 10 hits for "Ryungong." Seems they want to keep a lid on it. The construction crane abandoned on the top is a nice touch. Very Blade Runner-ish building.

OK I give up, the world is even more insane than I had imagined in my nightmares!
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
