Saudi Arabia’s crown prince unveils plans to build a zero-carbon city

AL ULA, SAUDI ARABIA/LONDON - Saudi Arabia’s crown prince unveiled plans on Sunday to build a zero-carbon city at NEOM, the first major construction project for the $500 billion flagship business zone aimed at diversifying the economy of the world’s largest oil exporter.

“Why should we sacrifice nature for the sake of development?” Prince Mohammed said. “We need to transform the concept of a conventional city into that of a futuristic one.” “The backbone of investment in ‘The Line’ will come from the $500 billion support to NEOM by the Saudi government, PIF and local and global investors over 10 years,” he added.

There have been few announcements regarding NEOM since it was announced by de facto ruler Prince Mohammed to much fanfare in 2017 as a pillar of his Vision 2030 plan to rid Saudi Arabia of its reliance on crude oil revenues.

Wealth is the best source to build this type of city. From Mohammed bin Salman.

Excelente noticia y esperando sea una realidad.. Gracias.!!

The bone 🦴 saw 🪚 guy

Lol, remember when high profile investors were lining up for their megacity project several years back? I wonder what could have possibly dissuaded them from doing business with MBS 🤣

What a Fucking awful idea for a city. It’s just a long street great for a community spirit. I suspect at one end the super rich will live & the other just the rich. The poor normals, workers, cleaners, cooks etc will live under the street so nobody sees them, dirty little things.

You imagine it, and We lucky Saudis will live in it 🇸🇦

There is no such thing as a man-made utopia. I am not impressed. This exposes the hypocrisy of these 'oil princes' whose families have made billions from the sell of oil.

Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform

'It would be an achievement where the entire human thought methodology would need an overhaul beyond limits indeed ! Something to look forward to no doubt.'

they are running out of ideas. whatever happened to equitable development? labor rights? the list goes on and on..

We are very proud of our prince

RE-EDIT this video - the rapidly changing images at the beginning can be dangerous for some people to view! DO BETTER!

What I always ask myself is who is supposed to go there? 1 Million people is a lot. Are you importing them from Egypt? There is no reason for a Westerner or Chinese to go there. Foreign language, foreign customs, heat, unclear employment opportunities. Hard to make it worth while

Not surprised, they are following the order of their globalist facist friends.

My understanding is this project displaces native Bedouins from their ancestral lands they fought for, and took from the Turks, in WW1.

And if you don’t like it, you might get chopped up and BBQ’d

With slaves

I'm sure Jamal Khashoggi will be really excited about that. Oh, hold on...

😳 Great initiative!

Built by underpaid workers who have there passports taken off them so they can’t leave

Should make a plan to stop cutting people's heads off for dissent as well

meshaluk Cool

We will do it and we will perfect it

And Zero Khashoggis.

Built on slavery.

Was this before or after he unveiled his plan to have foreign journalists chopped up into pieces?

A pile of nonsense funded by a terrorist state one where women are treated like dogs

Sounds like a ghetto.

PeteButtigieg

also zero waste when killing and cutting into pieces a us citizen inside a consulate

Export your oil, let them choke on carbon emissions, use the money to build the zero emissions society...

Bonesaws?

We'll see :

wowowo is it a paid content by saudis from one of the “most trustable” news platform?

Oh my god. The irony of this. 100% renewable energy and putting humans first 🙄

He made his buttock

overnight, the crown prince became a leader of a magnificent projects. Isn't that who was described as a failure even in killing. The money can change everything!

MBS is doing a great job developing Saudi Arabia. People in Saudi see H.R.H as a savior and, a leader who is gonna take them to a new era.

Hopefully, he will leave enough people alive to enjoy it

Does it come with a personal hit squad?

$500 billion+ for 1 million people? That is $500,000 per person. It's a huge vanity project that will go down the A city that is 170km long? What about other cities in Saudi? Do those people matter?

.....all built with Pixie dust!

Komodo Dragon Vs Buffalo

No people?

the prince whom slice the journalist into pieces?

how many bone saws will it take?

First of all, this wasn't his idea. It was Klaus Kleinfeld. This moron only knows how to chop bodies up. Second, this will take 40-50 years to build.

When are they going to build a society without gender inequality? 🥰
