It's true that UAE is a developed country and shows interests regarding this matter, however, it will not be an easy shift to the other source of eneryg. If an alternative fuel will replace the current one, i think it must be the electric one for vehicles due to the fact that the current fuel is not cheap her in UAE comparing to other countries in the region (ie. KSA, Qatar and Oma). Using of alternative energy sources for transportation should be at the earliest due the enviromental impact, but I don’t think it will be in the near future.

With the amount of sunshine that we have here, the big investors, and the will to have the best projects in the world, i believe the U.A.E can be very soon the precursor of sustainable development for the region, and follow what has already been done for years in other countries in the world. We should take example of Northern Eurpoean countries and take advantage of the potential we have to start acting and saving our environment. The launch of the carbon free metro in Dubai should be a kickstart for many new alternative energey transportation.
