Since the elevator MUST be built on the equator, hurricanes should not be a problem.

So that means that the real problem will be geopolitical.

The only countries that could host it are:

• Equador
• Colombia
• Brazil
• Gabon
• The Congos
• Uganda
• Kenya
• Somalia
• Indonesia

Not a very likely bunch of places unless things drastically change in those countries.

Kind of like the Columbia canal. We found a reasonably good way around that. At least until Jimmy Carter came along. Like present day Somalia, the then current value of the land, under the status quo, was worthless. It was a pestilent hellhole. Only its location had value.
