Yep, those are fair points, but Campbell was writing about political policies rather than the practicalities of implementing them. My understanding, purely from what I read, is that the idea was floated in the 1960’s at the height of the Cold War - similar to the Green Goddess fire engines - but once coaling towers and water towers were dismantled, I guess it was quietly forgotten. Who knows how far it went beyond a policy idea?Anyhow, my point is that there’s almost always a kernel of truth behind every myth or conspiracy theory - and trying to discover more about them is harmless fun, compared to (say) trespassing on the four foot in order to see the Camden Rathole.
