Semi-Finalist Evaluation
Judges'' comments
Thank you for participating in the 2016 Climate CoLab's Adaptation contest, and for the time you spent in creating your entry.
The Judges have strongly considered your proposal, and have chosen to not advance it as a Semi-Finalist for this contest.
We, the Judges and contest Fellows, are truly grateful for your contribution to the Climate CoLab and for your commitment to address climate change.
We encourage you to keep developing your work and to submit it into future contests.
We very much hope you will stay involved in the Climate CoLab community. Please support and comment on other proposals on the platform and continue to submit your ideas into our contests.
If you have questions, please contact the Climate CoLab staff at admin@climatecolab.org
Keep up the great work. And thank you again for being a part of this mission to harness the world's collective efforts to develop and share innovative climate change solutions.
Additional comments:
Looks like a duplicate of: http://climatecolab.org/contests/2016/energy-supply/c/proposal/1331530 The marine communities the proposal references are better topics for submission. The refugee and jobs angle fits better with those. Using a hyperloop to get to the marine environments is novel, but the hyperloop is just now in technology feasibility evaluation on land. Adding the complexities of marine construction & maintenance only pushes the development time out more years. Since the refugee crisis is happening today, there is a timeframe mismatch. The proposal is better under the energy supply category or other ones, as it looks like this has been submitted many times.
There is disconnect between global climate adaptation challenges and the suggested solutions. The Hyperloop One Challenge is more geared focused towards transportation solutions rather than a ‘one stop solution’ for all of humanity’s woes.
All the best

I find this characterization of a multifaceted proposal, that is clearly built around known STEM, to simply be a non-constructive waste of time, if not being flat out childish. Really! How Old Is This Judge??? And yes, I will put my name to my comments, Michael
