NCAR is not only one of the leaders in climate science, but is an exceptionally important institution for space weather and upper atmosphere modeling. This will be an enormous loss for the scientific community. As someone in the atmospheric and space science community, this decision will have devastating consequences for decades to come.

Because then they would have to live in it, and would theoretically stop burning it down.

I don't know if "best" feels right, but I can see the upside. Of course, then they'd be immortal overlords, and that probably wouldn't go well either.
