Yes but ships can’t stop in Chicago, where gangbangers can be tipped off about the good loads, especially AR15s.

“I think that a Dam such as Hoover Dam probably could not be built in this century America due to environmental protests, permits, bureaucratic processes and cost over runs.”

Oh yeah.
The West would not have be settled either for the same reasons.

China has a long-term plan to build high speed rail from
Beijing to Singapore (about 3,000 miles) and has started low-speed freight service to Hamburg (the train travels about 6,000 miles in 15 days).

It used to be the British who built railroads in their colonies. Now China is taking their railroad building experience overseas. Their latest deal is to build a railroad between Mombasa and Nairobi.

Chinese strategic planning. They’ll need a reliable transportation link to their North American colonies.

After we give China a couple of our western state, they will need a way to mobilize to those new regions of their country.

I know nothing about engineering. I'll add my question to the ones you had:

Could the drilling involved trigger volcanoes and earthquakes?
