The Energy domes: a green utopia that swallowed the water and the courts in Soria

The article discusses the stalled 'Las Cúpulas de la Energía' project in Soria, Spain, which aimed to create a sustainable city focused on environmental technology and renewable energy. The project, initiated in 2003 and partially constructed by 2010, faced repeated flooding due to its location in an area prone to inundation. Despite being backed by regional and local authorities, the project has been repeatedly halted by natural disasters and legal challenges. Originally designed to attract investment, generate employment, and include luxury housing, research centers, and cultural facilities, much of the planned development remains unrealized. The remaining structures include some parking areas, roads, and five of the seven originally planned domed buildings.
