    We just need to float it. A new Venice of the North. Take that, Amsterdam!

    Yes, but 2 PWh clean energy though. Great for economic growth, and the new lake would be good for leisure and tourism.

Wouldn't this put Prague underwater?

    One key problem I see is that Plzen is now underwater too, which means, no more Pilsner Urquell. That would be bad.

And the more sinister application of this kind of map is for programming optimal paths for cruise missiles. This, however, makes it easier to get funding. If you want money, create military, banking or casino/betting applications.
