Stone highlighted the planned
construction, beginning in 2018, of the Iranian Light Source
Facility (ILSF), which would be the country's first synchrotron and its «
biggest basic science
project ever,» as «a testament to the country's determination to do science in spite of turmoil, political interference, and the viselike grip of economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies to block Iran's suspected effort to develop nuclear weapons.
One of their
projects, now under
construction, is a giant waste - to - energy (the modern cleaner sounding name for a garbage incinerator)
facility in Copenhagen that has a park and ski run on the roof, (lots more on TreeHugger here) and was designed to have a
big smoke ring puff up every time the building released a tonne of carbon dioxide.
