It\u2019s also building the peninsula\u2019s first nuclear power plant and endlessly promotes its vast solar-power plant named after Dubai\u2019s ruler. Dubai has also set the lofty goal of having the world\u2019s lowest carbon footprint in the world by 2050 \u2014 something that would be impacted by burning coal.<\/p>\n<p>The coal plant\u2019s arrival comes as Gulf Arab nations remain among the world\u2019s hungriest for energy and amid political concerns over the use of natural gas imported from abroad, concerns underscored by a yearslong dispute with gas-producer Qatar, which is boycotted by four Arab nations, including the UAE. &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to find out what Dubai\u2019s government may say if someone over here tries to chastise them for starting up a coal-fired power plant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai has fired up a coal-fired power plant to generate electricity.
