Nicaragua canal
Remember José Santos Zelaya? He wanted a Nicaragua canal over a hundred years ago. Daniel Ortega is trying to revive the dream, though hopefully not the outcome (Santos Zelaya was overthrown by the United States).
A key problem now, as back then, is that Nicaragua is broke so apparently is trying to cobble together a disparate group of interested governments. Very hard to see this going anywhere given the price tag and difficulty of coordination (not just for construction but for control).

Sad. A fraction of of that $30 billion (which will clearly never happen) could be invested in education and other long term strategies with positive lasting effects. Instead, Nicaraguans get this nonsense from their leadership.
