That plan for the giant twin system looks amazing!  I would really love to 
see something like that within my lifetime.  They could probably make tons 
fo money off of that from tourism when its done(if in fact that ever 
happens).  I wonder how much money that would cost to make that, and to 
power it for that matter.  I didnt realize that something like that was 
possible.
