NEOM's The Line Project

Hey folks, When I heard about this project, I had many questions and wanted to discuss it with others. However, there was no platform that had so many intellectuals who understand the real product and engineering but now i have one. To give you some context, construction on this remarkable project is already underway. The project boasts of becoming an engineering marvel, yet doubts linger regarding the feasibility of these grand claims. Here are my inquiries: 1. Can they truly construct an imposing big and strong glass wall around the city, capable of withstanding environmental pressures and wind forces? 2. Considering the challenging terrains, how feasible is the idea of tunneling for underground transportation? 3. With scorching temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius, can they effectively mitigate environmental repercussions? 4. Gathering real-time data on weather, location, and cybersecurity seems daunting – a challenge even for seasoned IT experts. How might this be managed? 5. Is the vision of a system powered entirely by renewable energy within reach? 6. Amidst meteorological unpredictability, how can accurate weather forecasts be maintained, considering even current predictions remain uncertain? Also, if it succeeds, don't you guys think it will create a dichotomy between those within it and those outside?

1. No 2. Not at all lol 3. Nuuupe 4. No one knows, `from future import technology` 5. Not yet it ain't, battery tech is greatly inferior than needed 6. Current models are already failing at local weather predictions, but in the desert the fallback weather prediction can always be "hot" Of course, snow piercer, blade runner, or cyberpunk shit right there!

I'm actively involved in the sustainability field and also engage in part-time meteorological work. I strongly agree with your perspective on batteries: developing a battery storage system for projects larger than 1MW is ill-advised (we don'tusually give such adviceto our clients), and here we are talking about more than 100GW. Furthermore, during an internal meeting, a higher management person at IMD conveyed us that achieving accuracy beyond 80% is impossible 😅.
