“IRENA in the UAE should be a matter of great pride for the Arab World !! The Arab World has never been able to get its act together whether it be the Palestinian cause or global oil prices for petty political reasons over half a century. Now that the UAE will host IRENA , the least that the Arab world could do is to first wholeheartedly felicitate the UAE for a campaign well managed and won and then,commit their best efforts to ensure that the Middle East takes the lead in renewable energy as a beacon of hope for the future of the Global Community...”
