my understanding of tech is that everyone sits back, watches the early adapters, sees everything that they do right/wrong, and later on the ones watching do it better and for less money.
this is part of the reasoning as to why the USA will in the next 2 to 3 decades fall way behind in warfare technology. We're pretty much at the front right now, but we're also the early adapters. Everything costs more, is harder to produce, and isn't as good as the stuff that will be coming (in the above mentioned) in 2 to 3 decades from other countries.
@jrghoull: Warfare is the one area in which the US will remain at the forefront. While all other technologies and sciences languish behind the rest of the world, the US has always maintained its steadfast domination of research into splodey go boomey.
@pɹɐoqʎǝʞuǝʞoɹq: Only in the area of pharmaceuticals, to be frank. Maybe in the area of pricey genetic therapies too. Basically any area where money is.
But the rest of the world is rapidly moving past the US in terms of generally useful medical research.
I will have to stay tuned! Sounds very interesting. While having more eco-friendly construction processes are great, especially with such a large and long-term project, I'm more concerned with sustainability over time for the individual project involved. Just like with cars, the actual building materials and energy involved in making it is nowhere near the energy it uses over its lifetime.
I would also assume that many businesses and people who will move into the city would have done so in another city anyways, perhaps using more inefficient uses of energy? Not sure, just a random thought, lol. Thanks for the promotion, Rosa =)

One assumes it'll be about as much pollution as constructing a regular city would create, but that it will save pollution in the long run.
