The new plans for the WTC site have been announced by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, following the lukewarm reception of the old plans. Out of the seven, four plans propose creating the world's tallest skyscraper, the highest coming in at 2,100 feet. This is considerably taller than the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur which has a height of 1,483 feet. The LMDC has the new plans online, but the site is very slow right now, so it's hard to tell whether they actually look good.

Building anything less than the world's tallest building would be a betrayal of the spirit of New York, and indeed the American spirit.
