I don't know about $1 trillion. We'd need to assume labour costs for a developed country which would inflate costs for the Gibraltar Dam above $180 billion. I'm going to look at material required and the cost of those materials before writing more for the Magneuropa Program. I'd like it to be as accurate as possible.

Exactly, the new land the prohect opens and the possibility of now diverting water into the Saharah desert offers the potential for profit. I think that justifies the program for any country which can afford its construction and environmental costs.

Yes, I'll eventually write an entire article for the Magneuropa Program.
