Carbon-neutral Ziggurat pyramid could house 1.1 million in Dubai

As we learned from wall-E, people with half a mind for themselves, probably will not be kosher with living with 1.1 million inhabitants of other inside a pyramid . That said, there is always the brainwash approach to get 'em in there, and if hordes of people were ever filed in conceptual Ziggurat , Mother Earth would certainly appreciate.

The 2.3-square kilometer building would be able to accommodate over 1 million people and to be "almost entirely self-sufficient energy-wise." Touching on the planet renewable resources, designers claim that could be virtually carbon neutral, and because the carriage within the machine could be connected by a "360 degree integrated network," fuel burning cars would be useless. As with most things in Dubai, this one seems bigger than life, but if the Burj Al Arab is any indication, there is at least a tiny thing that possibility comes to fruition.
