This is so obvious to those with a brain or who take the time to reason. Thanks for this analysis. More brains (or at least one with scientific and engineering knowledge) must apply.

Sigh. What could possibly go right?

Thank you for this. Good piece. When I first heard about this, my gut said, uh, no. Of course, my gut also says 'feed me' when it shouldn't. But the dome concept strikes me the same way the nuclear bomb did: ok, we can do it but why do we need to? Clearly, we can't do the shield thing yet. As you point out, costs and benefits are not aligned well at the moment. And--New Jersey. Good one. Scale is certainly an issue, as are all the problems you point out.
