The secret to building a super efficient CHEAP 3000psi 48" subsea gasline made from HDPE plastic pipe is:  Drill a small hole in it every 20', make it leak water like a soakerhose....  TeeHee, there's another small step to do here that makes this a superior cost-efficient gasline that can span oceans, and you gotta sweet talk me out of the magic secret  ;-p

Yeah, we can build a 5bcfd subsea gas pipeline to Japan for cheaper than the cost of a big LNG-plant.
