hey, all. while looking around on TV Tropes recently to get ideas for what i could include in my ASB ATL, i learned of "Seward's Success", a planned community occupying about five square miles (that's about thirteen kilometers for our non-American members) that would have been enclosed in a glass dome so that it would be climate controlled. IOTL, the idea was scrapped because lawsuits over the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System delayed its construction (the pipelines', not the city) and subcontractors failed to keep up the lease. the project was proposed in 1968 and cancelled by 1972 IOTL.
anyway, i just wanted to know what everyone thought about the plausibility of the dome being created and what repercussions it could potentially have, both positive and negative, particularly if it would become just the first domed city to be built before they start appearing all overt he place (where they can be built, of course)
