WT....if you want to complain about 'pollution' I think you should go to the LA forum. Someone will agree with you there.

Let's just pass a law that it is not allowed to get hotter than 80 degrees on any given day. That's what Houston needs to do!

That is not possible unless they move the people out.

Have you seen the new urban plans?

- To build more sidewalks to emphasize walkable areas.
- To expand upon cost efficient and environmentally safe mass transit.
- To bring in trolleys to serve around downtown
- Object is to reduce traffic to clear up congestion thus limiting mass smog problems.
... among other projects also... too much to keep count...

The city itself doesn't know it's doing it to make the atmosphere more livable with these projects but they will environmentally be getting rid of quite a load of congestion and smog.

Kudos, but it would be nice if they directly attacked this and emphasized these problems more. I think with the direction into green energy it cant be long until they address this if they want to become a green energy powerhouse. (this part is just my personal opinion and is in no way a fact)

How much heat can be reduced do you think? 10 degrees cooler?

Any source? The whole city will be covered with dome?

The dome would just exacerbate that little problem!
