The Zero-Emissions Skyscraper

German architect Eckhard Gerber has an ambitious plan to build office towers in Riyadh, Dubai, and Bahrain that produce all their own energy...

A handful of architects... recently dreamt up a state-of-the-art tower, a giant 68-story building projected to rise to a lofty height of 322 meters (1,056 feet), which would make it number 22 on the list of the world's tallest buildings. What is even more impressive is that not only will the Burj al-Taqa ('Energy Tower') consume very little energy -- but it will also produce all its energy itself.
