If a $1 billion ghost town sounds to you like the set of sci-fi movie, think again. A company called Pegasus Global Holdings is constructing a town in Lea County, N.M. as a testing ground for the latest renewable energy technology and terrorism security systems.
It will look like any other city, filled with office buildings, homes and roads, the BBC reports. The only difference from a regular city: no people will live there.
The site could be used to test self-driving cars, smart grids, citywide wireless networks and just about anything else Pegasus' clients are interested in.
