The dome
I saw the show today and thought it was complete crap... They pretty much breezed over hurricanes, lightning, etc... and they spent very little time going over how the temperature could be maintained within the dome without spending a load of money on electricity... Or the craziness that would happen when so many "outer-domers" wanted to get in from the weather...

We already have a dome
We no longer play sports in it. It was hard to maintain, and expensive, and became outmoded, and people decided they liked open-air (or at least retractable roof) stadiums better.
Hey, while we're at it, let's save Los Angeles (which has earthquakes!!! and bad air!!!!) by moving it to Cleveland! We can hire all these moving trucks and move all these houses...
Oh. Wait. What would we do with Cleveland? Well, crap.
I wasn't aware that we needed saving?!

As practical as Universal Health Care is going to produce lower cost and better care.

I've got to admit it's a better idea for "saving" Houston than my idea. My idea would have required every citizen of the city to wear rubber pants, and I have no idea where we'd find 2.5 million pairs. There's not enough latex in all of Montrose!

I also dig how they're using footage of Galveston after the 1900 storm to justify building a dome over Houston. You almost never hear about the effects of that storm on Houston, which at the time covered mostly the area we now know as downtown.
