Does a bunker makes sense?
For what ?
An individual or collective bunker?
What type of bunker?
Where ?
In any case, if i (owner and developer) would pick up the building of bunkers and subterranean houses (or parts of houses), we would forsee and deliver services (depending on situation).
Services like:
Continuous energy and communication through subterreneous smartgrid;
Servicing through a grid with fresh water again without toxins and radioactivity.
This subterreneous smartgrid was already the case before taking more seriously the possibility of building bunkers.
This simply so because it is the safest form of delivering, exchange and production of energy.
I argue that in certain locations a more sophisticated bunker does not makes much sense, and significantly and unnecessarely increases costs and maintenance.
The type of bunker that i (we?) defend is more of an autonomy and conservation asset and this with extremely reduced cost, but nevertheless still functions as well or even better as a bunker than many or most of the more sofisticated and expensive bunkers.
BACK TO BUNKERS IN GENERAL.
These are subjects that will be discussed on this page and on this website (world in transformation).
Obviously, the first thing to do would be to try to avoid the need for bunkering.
If a bunker was a form or part of housing with advantages, it would make a lot more sense and could be called differently, like an underground house or department.
Advantages could be several:
Energy conservation, more autonomy, less impact on the environment, ...
On the other hand, it will also have several disadvantages and challenges:
more impact on the environment (at least initially), additional costs, ...
