Interesting, thanks for posting. The tunnel will improve connectivity and deliver a significant reduction in journey times. Here in the UK, we're in the middle of building a new, third, railway line from London to Birmingham. It's called HS2 and may not be completed until 2033, by which time it's estimated that the cost will be anything upto a staggering £100 billion. The so-called advantages? It will increase capacity at a time when more people are working from home and will reduce the journey time from around 75 to 50 minutes. An astonishing waste of money in my opinion which will not significantly improve anything.
One niggle about the Fehmarnbelt video. The BBC followed its usual practice of catering for the hard of thinking by describing the size of the area in terms of a number of football pitches. I think they said 200. I'm sure they only just managed to avoid describing the volume of the tunnel as a multiple of an Olympic swimming pool. That sort of thing usually disengages my attention immediately.

And of course we have a proposed similar project. Except it won't be anywhere near as long but will probably cost twice as much!

Dear America,
PLEASE never ever ever do this. Or at least pay another country to build it. For the love of God do not let ours be American-made.](/images/smilies/bang.gif "Brick wall ](*,)")

Once the commitment is made to these mega-projects, time is critical. The cost of everything balloons out of control faster than you can blink.
It sounds just about as popular as HS2!

Oi! We could use that tunnel over here! I'm sure we need it for national security.
How much does Denmark want for it?

The thing to remember is that these projects are really about serving as economic boosters.
The tab goes on the long term borrowing, but they create thousands and thousands of jobs during their construction.
They are rather like constructing pyramids.

Speaking of expensive tunnels, last year Musky was talking up the idea of a tunnel from London to New York. The construction cost would be vast but once complete a vacuum powered train could travel at fantastic speeds, up to 3000 mph, using little fuel. Vacuum power was tried in the early days of the London Underground, it worked well but rats ate the leather air seals making maintainance a nightmare.
Enthusiasm for the project has vanished, not because of technical problems but because suddenly nobody wants to travel from Europe to America any more, for some reason.

It should be reconsidered.
Now that America sucks so much, I'm sure the vacuum would be no problem.
Imagine the possibilities if such a project could be completed!
Once in operation, the direction of travel could be controlled by a switch labeled "Suck/Blow".

The problem is one end sucks so much more than the other! It will be a one-way trip in exactly the opposite direction!
But Trumpet keeps blowing his own horn - no shortage of hot air there! It would even out.
