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.

Who needs power when you can siphon water across a continent and up a mile
high grade?

Imbecile.

The theoretical point of view of stepping water nowithstanding power
isn't generally an issue because the grid does exist but also because
it exists in the form of solar, wind and batteries at the locale need
to step the water.
