I have a math problem to over come.

"On its website, the Boring Company says some tunnelling projects today cost as much as $1 billion per mile but its goal is to lower costs by a factor of 10 or more."

Okay let's assume 10. That means the tunnel would be about $100,000,000 per mile. A 220 mile tunnel will cost $22 billion.

Will that pay for itself?
