Begin rant...
Massive pumps of that sort never have been an off-the-shelf item, except in industries that recognized their critical vulnerabilities.
This is only a rude awakening to those who have come to power by believing all things are available off-the-shelf.
Hmmmm, solutions to once in a lifetime catastrophes aren't just off the shelf commodities? Go figure. Next approach is with the professionals who know how to engineer the solution backed by financial resources and heavy industry to build the solution,....but then again that's resorting to a capitalistic model that just isn't politically correct in a socialist world.
end rant
Indeed.
