Absolutely, said someone from the fire department: because wood is cheaper than oil, more people were using their fireplaces for heat, and so there were more chimney fires.

...structures were used as radar domes on the arctic DEW line after World War II, to demonstrate conclusively that for the material used they are the strongest and most efficient way to enclose space. Moreover, they cover maximum volume with minimum surface area. Ergo, it takes less energy to heat or cool a spherical structure than the rectilinear box of traditional architecture and consumer preference. Since nearly all dome homes have big skylights, lighting costs are also lower...
...that for a conventional house with the same floor space. John and Martha Evensta, a physician and his wife who have a five-room, $40,000 dome in Grand Rapids, Minn., say that their highest monthly electricity bill, in subzero January, came to $91-which included not only heating but also power for all their household appliances.

The total weight of the sail and the instrument-packed ship mounted in a hole at its center will be only 5,000 kilograms (11,000 lbs.)-a payload that could easily be launched into earth orbit by a rocket...
