Some semiconductor materials increase resistance when hot, thus lowering current, while other semi materials decrease resistance, thus self-destructing when too hot. "Doping" material migration also decreases efficiency over time with PV's. The Three Bears applies to PV engineering- not too hot, not too cold, just right. (Although in the real world, atmospheric cold is good.). Maybe they could float the PV's on the water as a natural cooler. Maybe they could use oil, since they have more than they know what to do with. Maybe they could not use electricity or oil, and live off the land.

Wind turbines are good because of the priced and shortages of fossil fuels, yet people need to be extremelly carful where they put them. They CANNOT put them on mountains or in valleys, because this destroys the natural beauty, and we've already corrupted the earth enough!

We as humans really havn't much time to make up for our mistakes so anything that contributes to a more eco friendly spin on power generation, or at least inspires thought along the those lines can only be good for us as a whole. I think in an ideal world any and all buildings should have some sort of natural energy (of which we have an incredible abundence) to electric energy converter, incorperated into its design somehow. Well done, keep it up, I really hope your design materializes and inspires a world wide trend for a long lasting and sustainable future.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS COULD BE THE WORLD'S FIRST NEVER CAN BE COMPLETED PROJECTS. THE MAIN CONTRACTOR NASS MURRAY WAS LEAVING THE PREMISES WITHOUT COMPLETING ALL THE WORKS.ACCORDING TO THE SENIOR OFFICALS OF NASS MURRAY THIS PROJECT WAS STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROPER DESIGN, BLUE PRINTS ETC. THEY STARTED WITH THE ORDINARY MASONS, CARPENTERS ETC. BECASUE THIS REASON IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE BUILDING THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO WITH THE BUILDING.SO THEY HAVE INFORMED THE CLIENT THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE COULD NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. NOW THE CLIENT IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER QUALIFIED CONSTURCTION COMPANIES IN ORDER TO FINISH THIS PROJECT AT LEAT BY 2015. HI

If you can watch the construction, the main structure of this twin tower is not proper. Because of this reason when ever they try to fix a glass into the building it not getting fixed. Now as per the recent developments, the main contractor is leaving the wotk without the full work completed. As per the Senior Engineer of Nass Murray they can not complete the project because they do not have the proper enginners, architect etc. So they just leaving the building and going.As per the BWTC the building will starts @1st Quarter of 2008. But if you see the building it will not starts by 2010. So naturally all the committed tennents will move out from this building.Actually speaking they do not want to complete the building. Hi

So those of you complaining about how it is a big greenhouse... I'm sure they took that into consideration while building this. There are overhangs and it seems like the glass is very reflective as well.

Consider Santiago Calatrava's work on the Tenerife Opera House, in Tenerife, Spain, and how his architectural influence also becomes recognizable elsewhere.
