perpheral topic

Dubai had so much natural gas 25-30 years ago they built a huge gas turbine electrical plant on the coast close to the port, and an aluminum smelter (BIG electricity consumer) next door (DUBAL) so they're have a means of turning the gas into an exportable product - aluminum ingots.

Apparently still in operation.

EDIT: And still building!
