I'd love to live in a dome house, it still very expensive to build.

It's expensive to build, period, in todays world. Harder even to find financing. But, as far as costs go, there is no other building you can build that will save you more money in energy costs. People spend thousands of dollars on solar or wind energy, when building an energy efficient structure from the beginning will save you much more money in the end. So you build a home that costs 10% more than a comparable stick home, but you cut your energy bill by 50%. They pay for themselves.

One of todays modern windmills can provide enough power for 300 typical USA homes. If we changed 300 homes to domes that number would be 900 MDI homes maybe more if we used fiber optic lighting solar water heating and radiant solar heating last but not least heat pump. Excellent platform for solar panels add a rail to position the panels as the day goes by panels remain cooler too improving panel efficiency. Think this too you can build ecodomes and straw bale the outside then stucco saves $.

this has been around how long now and people still pay allot more for traditional junk. i see little hope in the current system.

Capsule corp in dragon ball remember the Dome houses....

[Seetherr]

un usable and undetectable forces in your opinion. All of today's modern conveniences rely on energy emitions that were undetectable a little over a century ago. If everyone thought as you do, no one would ever have had the foresight to discover what at the time could not even be imagined.

Your unusable and undetectable forces of nature will change the face of society in centuries to come.

I want a clear dome over my entire house and lawn so it'll be summer all year.  How much?

Darn amazing!

@hughtub Actually it wasnt the scientific method! Domes were built LONG AGO! Of course Another Atheist trying to take credit scientifically for something that has been around MUCH LONGER and were actually built by people of faith! You and 7 other people are morons! Haha.

The Dome home is the future, cost and financing is the problem. When we get to the point where both are easy to find, the Dome home will be every where.

After living in an earthquake area for a year id put money on this type of structure than conventional methods, many buildings in Christchurch I had assumed were strong and safe were actually very weak, and took massive structual damage or some outrighted collapsed.
