If we're going to be stuck in a backwoods town in Indiana, can't we construct some sort of biodome over the city to control the local climate? I mean, if nothing's getting in or out anyway, it seems easy enough to keep temperatures consistent over the city. I could build it. I couldn't pay for it, of course, but I could build it.
Probably be marginally more fun than anything else I could do for work here. Beats signing autographs at the comic book store indefinitely.
