Vermont City Almost Encased In a 1-Mile Dome
destinyland writes "A Vermont city once proposed a one-mile dome over its 7,000 residents. (They paid $4 million a year in heating bills, and HUD seriously considered funding their proposal.) The city's architectural concept included supporting the Dome with air pressure slightly above atmospheric pressure. (Buckminster Fuller warned their biggest challenge would be keeping it from floating away...) There would be no more heating bills, fly-fishing all year, and no more snow shoveling. And to this day, the former city planner insists that 'Economically it's a slam dunk.'"
The town from TFA was about 7,000 people
Yeah, the /. editors have clearly outsourced themselves to someplace where English is very poorly understood, because surely no self-declared "nerds" would ever make such an elementary mistake as to call a town of 7000 people a "city".
The alternative, of course, is that /. editors are a bunch of sensationalist manipulators who are not above falsehood to get page views.
Blasphemy is a human right. Blasphemophobia kills.
