Houston dome project may Protect the city

Houston dome project taken care by mega engineering expects the houston can be saved  by building huge dome over the sky scrapers that covers the entire city.

Grim environmental future can be encounter by covering the houston city with giant geodesic dome.

The Discovery channel or the websoite show how the giant geodesic dom project can protect through a plan. Houston is located in peril and the city facing heat, hurricanes and other natural disasters and said to be the city is getting vulnerable to hurricanes and severe weather.

Houston  preparing itself to close the city for getting huge temperature climbing above 90 degrees, that makes every one to run away from the place being it is the most popular city in the country,it’s not only the hurricanes, but also heat and humidity that keep oppressing this great citythe temperature continues for more than 100 days.When comes to electricity Houston city is taking more for the big airconditions than Los Angeles.

The scientists speaks their is only way which can get rid of the problem by building worlds first dome for Houston that coversover 21 Million square feet. The factory of Vector Foil Company of German will be the crucial which providing the  much lighter material for the structure where the Glass will not work out for the dome.

Texlon® ETFE invented byVector Foiltec to get use as the climatic envelope, this is light polymer and is the future of glass.The material, called ETFE is the only material that will make a fuller city-size dome possible at just using one percent of glass,and it is so light that 99 percent lighter than glass is tremendous change.

If this Houston Dome will indeed materialize it will cost billions of dollars and it will certainly be the biggest structure in the world and will take years of construction.But the question raises will Houston ever see rain?If no, is it possible to sustain an ecosystem of such a size without rain?

Watch out the plan
