    i don’t think their intention is to keep them empty. not the worst thing to spend co2 on.

      It wasn’t even necessarily a bad idea given property growth, but it will be interesting to see what happens if they can’t stop population decline

      Their intention was to bolster the economy with busy work, but that’s not a long term solution.

          That’s comparing Apples to Shampoo. To completely different concepts and it’s not an either/or situation.

            it really isn’t. both give out emissions, one of them is housing.

            its like complaining wind farms are ugly.

              Concrete doesn’t house CO2. When they created Biodome2, the engineers didn’t factor in the curing time and CO2 output and the scientists had to vent the facility or suffocate.

          Houses don’t stand long on their own. It takes a significant amount of time and money to keep these things from filling up with mold or collapsing.
