This is way too long. The location of the Panama Canal was the short distance between the Atlantic and the Pacific and the small difference in elevation. This plan is about 2000 miles long and goes from sea level to a mountainous region over 1500 feet in elevation, then back to sea level. It would be an ambitious plan that would take more than a lifetime to build and cost more than quoted.
Not to mention the folks who might have an interest in that huge swath of territory. I think OP is using that most provocative of verbal tools: sarcasm.
