> She said Trump ordered her to put herself out of a job by completely dismantling the department, and this was the first step.

If she actually accomplishes that, I’ll make a contribution to her GoFundMe account, if she starts one.

Trump is correct about the Tesla attacks.

They attack Tesla, and Trump Tower, to attack the US Government. They use Terror to achieve a Political end – the literal definition of Terrorism.

There need to be arrests and they need to be imprisoned. Until then, they will continue to feel untouchable.

“Trump administration cancels more than 200K government credit cards.”

I was issued one of these. There are strict rules on how and for what they can be used for. Or at least, there were strict rules on how I could use mine. I’ll bet for some other cardholders, not so much.

That she didn’t want Canada because it was too liberal.
I see her point but, we don’t have to take take ALL of Canada. Only take the middle section. That’s where the resources we need are and their sentiments are much like, very much like, fly over country in the US. Here’s a map of the provinces

We want,

Alberta   
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
Yukon
Northwest Territories

maybe
Ontario

Do not want
Quebec
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia
Prince Edward Island
British Columbia
Newfoundland and Labrador

Now I talked about the North American Water and Power Alliance here,

There’s another plan that dams up the fresh water that now dumps into Hudson bay, (this causes it to freeze and ruins the bay for fisheries and transport. A bad thing), and channels it to the Great Lakes and all across the continent to the west, including, if linked with canals, to all the US west. Huge deal with canals linking the whole of the US. Lots of water and water transport.

Great Recycling and Northern Development Canal or GRAND Canal

Now you might ask how will we finance this stupendous amount of materials to do this. Well I’ve had this absurd idea every since I saw that enormous steam of lava pouring out into the Ocean in Hawaii. My first thought was, “what a waste, why can’t we do something with this?”. Now for fun I found the total mileage of interstate highway in the US. Cooled lava is fairly strong. If cooled fast it’s like glass, strong but brittle. If slower it’s really tough and strong. Here’s a picture of this lava stream. Basalt is some of the toughest hardest stuff there is. Would make a great roadway or building material substituting for concrete.

So you treat the lava just like the steel sheet in a continuous steel mill. The temperatures are not much different. You channel the lava onto a floating structure with rollers. The rollers squish the lava down to 2″ thick and 8 foot wide sections. Making thinner sections allows gas to escape and makes it easier to control the cooling. Holes, actually slots would be better, can be punched in them for roadway drainage. You can also make the sheets bent in U or other shapes. The key is to line the flat roadway sheets at alternate 30 degree angles from each other and stack them. So one sheet is at 30 degree and the next under it is at 300 degrees. That way if one is damaged the road doesn’t fall down. I would make the whole thing supported on pier supports on basalt beams in the air so that you don’t need fences like the highways now. Ramps on and off could be made of the very same materials. I would use something like barge rope, polypropylene rope, to tie these things together. Keep it out of the Sun and it would last forever.

The lava flow was putting out 14 million cubic feet of lava per day. So a little math,

The whole entire US interstate highway system is around 48,890 miles.
So make the roadway 1 foot thick and 5-12 foot lanes wide(12 foot inside and outside emergency lane, and three regular 12 foot lanes.)

14 million cubic feet of lava per day

every day 14 million cubic feet/ 5 (12 ft. lanes, one foot thick) = 233,333 feet per day = 44.19 miles per day of lava pouring out into sheets.

48,890 mi/44.19 miles per day = 1,106.31 days = 3.11 years to make the whole US highway systems roadway. Obviously longer for piers, beams, on-off ramps etc. Be nice to have a bike, walking path of the same material strung below the roadway.

Now the Mexico US border is far smaller. 2,000 miles or so.

2,000 mi/44.19 miles per day = 45.2 days, enough lava would pour out to make a roadway. But I would go even farther. I would make a wall and a canal all the way from the gulf of America to the Pacific with this lava. I would use an idea the Chinese have. They make elevated roads and rail lines, very, very smart, and they use a crane that rides on the roadway or rail line. So it props up the supports in front of it and positions the roadway in front of it as it goes. Here,

Now the beauty of this if you made a small canal is you can use water power to transport all these sheets and build the canal as you go. I would start with a small canal about 30 feet wide so it could carry small boats in two directions. You build the small canal all across the border, then, you build the wall with sheets placed with cranes from the canal. Then to top it off if you get really industrialist and you build a BIG ASS CANAL like the panama canal using the smaller canal to transport all the lava sheets and canal cranes to place them.

For your piers you use this brilliant technique that this guy came up with to make surfboards from cardboard. Called a quarter isogrid but you use lava sheets with slots. Isogrids are used in spacecraft, fighter planes, etc. There was a report on it and they found that using isogrids you could make something 600% lighter with the same strength. Wow! Now the quarter isogrid is not quite as strong but the advantage is you can make it out of flat sheets, punch slots in it and then slide them together. As you can see you could stack these. There’s a material called cob which is nothing more than sand, a fiber like straw but I would use shredded used plastic, used shredded tires, and clay. This makes a super hard material about half concrete strength. They have five hundred year old cob houses in England. The only maintenance is to to re-plaster the outside walls every so often. With the basalt lava covering it it would need no maintenance at all. Fill up all the quarter isogrid with cob and you have a strong pier.

This would cost a bit to set up but once you had the machinery the cost of transport would be very low in huge, stupendous quantities. After you built one canal you could use the same machinery to extend these all over the place moving water and goods all over. Water transport is super cheap and all this lava building material is just pouring out of the ground and sinking in the Ocean.

Another thing to keep in mind is that most canals have to have a lot of water to operate locks but not all. There’s a way to move boats up and down without using much water or power at all. The way to do this is to balance the weight going down with the weight going up. So then all you need is the force to overcome the friction of the machinery. Here’s one way.

Another would be to make a rotating teeter todder. Much like this.

So you go into a lock like the British one above. The teeter todder lifts you by moving a weight along the teeter todder arm, rotates you to the upper canal weight moves again lowering you down then opens the lock and you drive out. The amount of water going up is the same as the water going down and since the weight of the water going down is the same as going up it doesn’t take much energy.(It would not be a straight teeter todder. It would have a split in the middle that could fold to lift up both sides before it rotated.)

One other thing I would add is solar powered Stirling motor desalination plants in the gulf and the pacific. And I would string these motors all along the canal to continuously, or as long as the Sun was up, pump water “up”the canal so you wouldn’t need a large reservoir of water to operate it. All of course made of lava basalt.
