"Why isn't Qatar investing their massive wealth into researching adn developing more sustainable energy practices?"

Are you not paying attention or you to busy moralizing and talking down to Arabs?

Qatar has the largest concentration of LEED certified buildings in the world, as I pointed out in my post above. Also we are committed to a carbon neutral wc. We hosts international summits on green investments and techs and invests billion of dollars in green tech initiatives and research in the region yearly. In fact, last year QIA invested nearly 300 million Euros in a clean-tech fund in the UK to promote and develop renewable energy initiatives. Qatar also routinely buys large stakes in renewable energy firms around the globe.

So . . . my point is that you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. You read some ignorant, misrepresentative statistic on poster and then begin to preach to us like some crusader on a mission to civilize us. Get your facts straight next time.

Sure, everyone can do better to promote cleaner world, but Qatar is doing a great deal already and should be applauded not attacked.
