Tech Company To Build Science Ghost Town In New Mexico
Charliemopps sends this excerpt from an AP report:
"New Mexico, home to several of the nation’s premier scientific, nuclear and military institutions, is planning to take part in an unprecedented science project — a 20-square-mile model of a small U.S. city. A Washington, D.C.-based technology company announced plans Tuesday to build the state’s newest ghost town to test everything from renewable energy innovations to intelligent traffic systems, next-generation wireless networks and smart-grid cyber security systems. Although no one will live there, the replica city will be modeled after a typical American town of 35,000 people, complete with highways, houses and commercial buildings, old and new."
If they're going to do nuclear testing there, you could always hide in a fridge and be safe.
Those Crashtest dummies have been demanding a homeland for compensation for decades of abuse and maltreatment in the workplace.
They should just use Detroit: it's already built, it's realistic and it's a lot larger than a 35,000 inhabitant city.
