Some of us have been discussing this proposal elsewhere, if memory serves:

No, it's not going to be a panacea. It won't cure ills, but it will slow down some of the worsening consequences whilst deferring them to other places. And it will exact costs in other ways. The British Isles, however their borders are redrawn in the decades ahead, will still lose cities, towns, villages, farms, businesses...as will continental Europe outside the dams now containing/shielding/distorting the North Sea. Building this NEED project will be a consequence that creates consequences.

Building it will require the European Union to go from a coalition of nations to being a nation. If it hasn't already gotten there by the time the decision to build is taken.

The Pelling Lab is based out of the University of Ottawa, and they may be able to save you some grief in terms of downsizing when it comes to stuff that uses electricity if you live in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Details here:

On a more positive note...stumbled across this on YouTube tonight...



Getting the sense that this is what Drexler, Okuda and company were aiming for in their work on the 2150's travel pod cockpit designs for Enterprise.

Trouble is, I worry that such design choices could backfire on the crews of Orion-type mission vehicles. One sufficiently nasty solar flare...? But surely, the designers of this real-'verse cockpit have already anticipated such things?
