Well, if you have infinite resources sure.
If you wanted to do a non-air and non-boat link your only cost-effective option would be to do surface rail to Alaska and then cross about ~80 kilometers by bridge or tunnel (which is about the same as the Channel Tunnel)
Sure as hell a direct tunnel from San Francisco to Tokyo wouldn't be doable. (The US cannot even finish their California high speed rail project)

- fabianhjr 5y agoAh yes, surely something that hasn't been built before can built the first time around for thousands of kilometers and have it be a vacuum chamber at the same time and cheaper than the current well used and proven technologies.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoYes. Of course! With additional pipelines for all sorts of things, and HVDC!1!!
