if we can split the earth's mantle with a few thousand simultaneous hydrogen bomb explosions deep in the crust, the resulting apocalyptic lava eruption could very well seal in the entire area and the water would all turn to steam

I’m a space pump engineer with a secondary specialty in core pumping

I’m pretty sure we can solve this water problem with pumps

So should we pump it to the core then?

This would be good in conjunction with the engineering marvel of making the worlds largest bamboo steamer.

I propose running a pipeline downhill from the gulf of Mexico to just south of Chicago. We won't get a complete drain of the gulf, but we will increase the arable land by about 40%. We will also wipe out most of the midwest. Win/win.

What if we just raise the height of the United States, then create a sort of "land bridge" over the Gulf? Seems like that might help with the water table or something, I don't know.

You're thinking too small. Reverse the flow of the Mississippi so it does the draining of the gulf for us!

The problem is you're not factoring in the rain that's going to refill the gulf. We need a giant umbrella to stop that, otherwise we're right back where we started.

Actually, scratch that, what if we build a giant "roof" and have a gutter system direct that water towards the Atlantic?

1) Use 1/3 of trillion dollar budget to purchase sovereignty of Gulf Islands from Canada with a guarantee of protection. Bequeath them to Mexico.
2) Use 1/3 on Facebook ads to convince USA and Russia to conquer Mexico. Gulf of Mexico renamed Gulf of West Belgorod.
3) Gulf Islands are now Mexico's only Gulf. Use 1/3 budget on a few km of seawall and a load of Orbeez.
