Outdated article
editHere are articles that provide much more current information. As is, the Wikipedia article now reads like a PR piece.

- I am finding the whole PR-ish feel pretty awful too, especially given how dead it looks right now on satellite (Well it's 2019 imagery, but still). I put up a missing information template instead of update because... I don't know. --Artoria2e5 🌉 17:53, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- It is very PR-ish. This project is essentially greenwashing (for UAE + COP28) and I suspect that the people who made this article have some amount of interest in shedding the project in a positive light. I have multiple peer reviewed papers to back my claims and I intend to edit the article to bring some nuance in. FeetSupremacy (talk) 00:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
