I disagree.
At the earliest part of the glide you would have minimal grade (no need to speed up), then at the bottom you would throw a good bit of potential in to kinetic as to get up the next hill.
I have often wondered while in other parts of the country where the break even point is with moving mountains, I am certainly no expert, but If I had to guess, the interstate highway system already leans to the side of moving mountains, where as local roads, go with the land.
I do see your point, I just don't believe it is feasible at this point of development
