How do they plan to pay for it? The Panama Canal cost $375M almost 100 years ago and is probably almost 6 times shorter than the proposed Nicaragua Canal. Even following the river bed and dredging the costs would be astronomical. None of these three countries are exactly economic power houses right now.
