What's a megaproject you know is probably a bad idea, but would be sorely tempted to try if you were the leader of a wealthy country?

    Bridging the Darien Gap would involve cutting a path through the middle of a rainforest. It would be quite bad for the forest.

    Running a rail over the Bering Strait would be a pain to maintain, and a genuine disaster if something goes wrong.

      Yeah, any megaproject that involves cutting through one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth is a very bad idea. It would be dope, but overall bad idea.
