Not only there’s no appropriate credit, it is in an article about Abu Dhabi… You need to correct this.

You are right. Our emphasis is on the Middle East.

Can you give us some ideas of projects that are not biased?

I therefore understand your emphasis better now. Still, I think its sad that you dont put more emphasis on the ones that are engineering and managing this technology and just on the ones throwing the billions on it. I think its unfair and is obviously too biased.

I have the feeling you are emphasizing Abu Dabi to add excitement to your article by indirectly claiming that what was once an oil exporter is able to be so innovative in solar tech. By doing so you marginalize the efforts of spainish companies, government and universities to develop these technologies and their market in the last years.
