[Michael Lye]

This topic has had a much longer life than I expected but It's been  
an interesting read.

In addition to the cities mentioned by Phil, Providence RI is doing  
this same thing right now. The digging of the underground caverns/ 
tunnels is impressive from the video I've seen and the project is  
fascinating to follow. See the following link for more details:
