We've got those, too. You could acquire some of those through the simple
expedient of exporting some of your excess topography to places where it is
in short supply......say, Texas or Georgia, for example. In fact,
EVERYBODY'S topography problems could easily be solved by the establishment
of a national topography grid. But wait!, it gets better! There isn't even
a need to establish such a grid. Seriously. It's ALREADY THERE!
Railroads! Yep. Not only has the national topography grid already been in
place for over a century, it is grossly underutilized. Distributing
topography, on an as needed basis, would not only solve the immediate
problem, it would also boost the economy by providing a huge and highly
stable industry which would replace many of the jobs lost to overseas
competition in manufacturing, and would be (since both supply and demand
would be entirely domestic) immune to fluctuations caused by global economic
factors.

Sure, but useless without water and power.
