What if somone dug to far and hit the pipes. That pipe broke and then all the piped blew up! Much cooler then the firworks there.

@violet : no bonnets for the ladies. It’s Dubai : women are inside, not at the beach.

Personally, I don’t think global warming should even be considered as the main issue here. Boisterous, garish and excessive waste of natural resources is the truly disgusting part. It is equivalent to lighting cigars with $100 bills just because you can, while people around don’t have enough money to buy their daily bread. To me its just an indicator of baseness and incivility.

I agree
who wants to god for a cool breeze on a beach. Cool breeze must be by a lake.
Ask them to create a lake.

Who wants to hang out on a cold beach?

Why don’t they just pipe the cool seawater through a system of heat exchangers under the sand? Seems like that would be a lot easier (not to mention cheaper) than actually using refrigeration.

maybe climate change is a natural process of the earth, there is no direct evidence linking carbon emissions to climate change.

They should ship in arctic ice for their drinks, for the ultimate in luxury.

If they build this right their will be no carbon foot print. It’s called geothermal energy. They use the heat from absorbed by the pipes under the sand to create the energy to power the fans.
As far as us paying for it thru the buying of oil. Thats quite true but you can’t blame them for our major use of oil. We are supposed to be so technologically advanced but yet we continue to rely on OIL to power our world. Instead of some other form of power.

A few semi literate religious zealots with strap on bombs, or car bombs would be a lot cheaper.

I agree Evil Pundit… A few rockets full of nuclear energy would solve everything!

I prefer caviar-powered testicle cooling systems for the men and platinum reflector bonnets with built-in imported Icelandic breeze generators for the ladies.

Obviously, the best way to power this without adding to carbon emissions would be to use nuclear energy.
