In a bold move to combat the vagaries of weather and create a controlled environment for its residents, North Carolina has announced its ambitious new project: roofing over the entire state. The decision, which has stunned architects and meteorologists alike, aims to make North Carolina the world’s first entirely indoor state.
The project, dubbed “Dome Carolina,” involves erecting a massive, transparent roof covering every inch of the state’s 53,819 square miles. Governor Jim Maplebrook, at the project’s unveiling, stated, “After witnessing our citizens struggle with unpredictable weather, we decided it was high time to take control. Why leave our weather up to chance when we can create our own climate indoors?”
Critics have raised concerns about the feasibility and environmental impact of such a colossal structure, but state officials remain optimistic. The project’s chief architect, Sandy Rockwell, assured the public, saying, “Our design includes solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems. We’re not just building a roof; we’re creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.”
