Those that frame the argument get to hand-pick the data that supports their predetermined conclusion while conveniently ignoring data to the contrary. Any idiot not in thrall to the construction companies can realize that shipping using a zero-cost medium (the open seas) is cheaper than spending billions to build a canal that will require a large amount of labor, maintenance, and horsepower to operate. This is text-book example of pork-belly legislation in the works. Re: “according to canal proponents, it was a bit cheaper to ship through the canal than around the peninsula”

Even with the cost of upgrading Incheon and etc Ports: yes, much. No, these elevators will never become reality; but trillions of Won will be contracted to Hyundai in the attempt, which seems to be the entire actual goal. > “wouldn’t it be more economical

It's interesting, given that you would think that economies of scale are in play and that barge traffic will be more expensive. So I'll ask now what I asked before; "wouldn't it be more economical to sail around the peninsula"? I posed this question in an earlier thread, and got no response.
