Las Vegas is F*CKED ... Running Out of Water and Electricity
🌎 Great Reset 🚱
A couple of locals have been doing videos on the alarming drop in water levels at Lake Mead. It's nothing new. It's been going on for 20 years. But now, it is at crucial levels.
Here, they show how the water level has dropped, and how the reservoir is running dry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCBG_aVkv4s
In this one (more recent), they show how the turbines at Hoover Dam, that generate electricity, are just about far enough out of the water that they won't be able to produce electricity anymore. That will shut down 1/3 of the electricity in Las Vegas:
This. God is winning.
Ohhhh. I didn’t even think of that.
California also gets water from Colorado River
Looks like Sin State is about to go dark.
"Ms. Teschmacher, fire the nuclear missiles."
Didn't Steven King's book The Stand take place in Vegas?
Yes. That's correct. It's about Pandemic also.
too many electric cars causes them to run more water through the dam. the power grid operators are like politician in that they thin the source of their power(money) just comes from the sky.
First in to say watch the water.
Second. Posted that earlier today haha

10 days ago my Fren!
The middle of a desert is no place for a bustling city.
Not the way our cities are designed, fighting nature with great amounts of electricity and water.
People were living all over the world without electricity, oil, or coal, for untold millennia. Maybe not as comfortably, but adaptively. Think of the ancient underground cities in Turkey. Very sensible in a hot dry climate. And here in Phoenix we do have nuclear power, but we are over 300 miles from the nearest ocean to supplement the water. Water usage here is not appropriate to resources. I'm not kidding about 600,000 swimming pools, that's a low estimate. Lawns are worse.
Yeah I always thought the line in that Sheryl Crow song hit the nail on the head: “I’m standing in the middle of the desert, waiting for my ship to come in…”
Wow friend. This takes me back. Did you know that Cheryl’s songs all sucked so her producer set her up with the the Tuesday Night Music Club ostensibly lead by Kevin Gilbert. If you listen to his other songs, it’s absolutely certain that he wrote leaving Las Vegas and the rest of the album. Of course she took full credit and he got a few handies at least but it spiritually wrecked him
A few years later he died of autoerotic asphyxiation. You know how it goes in entertainment town. When the other members of that “suicide” set are brought up it makes me think of him.
Oh also this all happened in the early 90s. Knowing it was that long ago check out his song “waiting”:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDaDg7Q3sk
Very interesting! Cool song too. Yeah I’ve always thought she was a hack, but liked those lyrics. Now I know who deserves credit. Definitely makes me wonder about his death. Thanks for the info, Fren
Unless youv got nuclear reactors doing desalination it cant possibly be sustainable
I believe Las Vegas is a Cabal money laundering operation. Maybe that is why is is headed for disaster. No sauce. JMO.
And a human trafficking hub no doubt.
At least some of it is for sure. No way it isnt.
It became so when they kicked the mob out.
Vegas was built by the mafia to sell vice and wash money. The only difference now is who runs Vegas.
It's all artificial scarcity like everything else. We have plenty of water. There have been numerous projects cancelled by eco terrorists through legislation and litigation over the past few decades that have directly lead us to this problem. It's systematic destruction of the United States. They literally just blame working class people for using too much water, when it's just them projecting their hatred for humanity and free loving Americans. Sorry a working middle class white family isn't allowed to have grass and a few trees, while the elite get golf courses in Dubai.
The town next to me has a water shortage fear porn sign. How CA doesn't have enough water. I want to post a sign next to it that says maybe the fact the last reservoir was built in 1976 and there are now 20 million more people living here is part of the problem.
I saw something a couple of weeks back where some rancher wants to donate their land to be used for a new reservoir. Environmental lobby is fighting it. It is really apparent they want the entire chocolate cake for themselves.
The cabal fears the middle class bc we are the largest.they must keep us beat down to prevent the uprising that they are all but seeing now.
"We" dont have plenty of water. That is completely ridiculous. Are you attempting to state that these historic reservoir water level lows are artificial? The water tables are affected in countless locations. What exactly are you suggesting is artifically reducing reservoir and water table levels far below sustainable levels?. Lawns, golf coarses etc are so narrow of a reference in the scope of this very serious large scale issue. And yes people watering lawns does put a fairly significant strain on the resource.
When water covers 73% of the earth, we certainly do have plenty. What we do have is a structured collapse likely added onto by a drought enhanced by weather modificafion and certainly a huge planning failure when it comes to California having desalinization plants operating right now. The problem is us letting us be run by the worst of us for the last how many ever decades
Stating water coverage of the earths surface has no relationship to local and regional access and availability to water. It does not relate to water tables nor upstream water flow, snowpack and runoff or the aggregate issues of diversions and reservoir management. 73% water covering earth has no contribution to relevance to the Colorado river drainage. Of coarse government water management is negligent. It is not the root cause or corrective action as a single area for these issues. Too many humans using too many resources, building in climates unsustainable to support existing and expanding populations coupled with regional droughts, land misuse and development resulting in recessed or near drained water tables in key locations and block selling water rights outside regional and state originations of water sources would be relevant and key to correcting. All of which is a massive undertaking. When folks turn on their tap and its a dry air pressure or tiny drip this major issue will become very real, very fast to alot of people.
Look, I get the basics of hydrology, climate, and resource distribution. The point of stating the coverage highlights the fact that we have been mismanaged for decades because there is no excuse for the sorry state of our infrastructure in the US, and specifically our water infrastructure. We still use fucking floride and chlorine for water treatment when we should have desalinization plants on the coasts putting salt mines out of business and piping pure fresh water all across the country. Don't let the current dystopian reality obscure the vision of what the world could and should be. At 73% coverage and this far a long in history and technological development, there is no excuse that clean drinking water is not readily available in the driest of deserts. We only have our corruptocrats and our lazy selves to blame for leading us to this precipice. Just like how there are water pipelines running from Lake Mead to CA and AZ, we could have had pipelines sending desalinated water from the Pacific to be stored in these reservoirs. The fact that we are not comes back to corruption and this dystopian society we find ourselves in.
I agree with some of what you are saying. All could or should be utilized and or implemented and have been stifled through policy or other directives. Additionally some of those examples are a form of fix but not solutions, piping long run lines to transmit water is an example. This is a fix and not a very good one due to who is the provider, maintenance etc. A load of additional factors added im not going to cover in a reply here.
I dont agree that water shortages are artificial and based entirely on those factors and the reason I responded was that inference. The dystopian reality is not a lense i filter information through and is a parascope perspective not conducive to an elaborate issue like water shortages imo.
On paper there is enough water in the world. That doesn't mean there is enough water in Lake Mead for Las Vegas to survive - even if they 100% cut off CA and AZ.
Saying we have plenty is like saying when the famine was decimating Ethiopia way back when there was plenty of food in the world. Sure there may have been, but not in Ethiopia at that time.
Desalinization plants won't help NV unless CA gets their asses in gear, builds plants that make enough fresh water for CA, AZ, and NV, and builds pipelines. One smelt or salamander near any pipeline path will put a stop to it anyway.
At this point about the only thing the citizens of NV can do is move to another state, and maybe short casino stocks to cover the move.
Salt water doesn't count, unless you remove the salt. That takes billions of dollars and either coal or nuke power. It also requires doing something with the salt, which is easier said than done.
This is not Saudi Arabia, where they basically have free petro to run their plants.
90% of the world's fresh water is underground, not on the surface. Problem is, the West doesn't have as much due to the climate. They do have underground aquifers, but those need to be recharged from time to time via rain, and they are in a long-term drought.
It's possible to turn the situation around, but pretty close to zero chance of that happening because everyone who is in position to do something about it is operating on false ideas of how it could be done.
So, it won't be done.
Therefore, unless there is an end to the drought, it is only a matter of time.
Not if, but when ...
So at least for the "what to do with the salt" problem: return the salt to the hollow underground salt mines and cut Mortons and other companies in to source their salt from the desalinization plants. To me, it has been our politicians who have handicapped us and desalinization plans lie in our scifi world future once we take care of those who oppress us.
Agree.
Las Vegas is using about 4% of the water in Lake Mead, with the rest going to California and Arizona.
Of that 4%, only a fraction would be used for swimming pools and such.
But none of this is the issue. The issue is that the entirety of Lake Mead (the 4% for Vegas, as well as the 96% for Cali and Ariz) is WAY DOWN from where it needs to be.
That can ONLY be fixed by getting more flowing in from upstream, and that does not seem to be in the cards -- either via the drought ending anytime soon or the politicians' coming up with a solution.
The father and son doing the videos have shown the fast drop in the water level, over several videos in the past few months. Just 2-3 weeks ago, there were so many boats launching, that it took 2-4 hours waiting in line to launch a boat, and another 2-4 hours waiting in line to pull it back out again.
As of now, there are NO boats allowed to launch. That is how fast the water is dropping. The guy earlier in the 2nd video said that his boat was stranded 2 weeks ago, and the water level is already many feet down from where it was -- in just 2 weeks. As the water level gets lower and lower, the rate of drop will increase due to the base of the "bowl" getting smaller and smaller.
It is a SERIOUS problem, and those who want to ignore it are in for a rude awakening.
No apparently its not a problem its been debunked by the downvoters and google professors in here. Its all figured out, all the baddies drained a couple of reservoirs and created an artificial lack of water. Ocean desalination will save Vegas and the world. /s off 🙄
And?? 1 article specific to california with a headline stating the state is draining reservoirs. How many dams are receiving maintenance if any? Are they spring fed, stream, creek or major river drainage intakes? That write up in no way provides "proof" that water management is the root of drought consitions and historic low water levels. This issue is way more complex with layers of factors contributing to a very serious issue.
Reservoirs are not the "entire" picture for water access and in many cases are a major factor in causing drought conditions downstream.
The topic in this thread was specific to Lake Mead.
Buy a $40 USB solar power battery bank to recharge your MP3 player or smartphone each day so you can listen to Emergency Broadcast System announcements and local news radio. Buy $10 USB rechargable mini-speakers to your whole family can listen.
Buy a portable camping gas stove for $20. Each gas bottle costs about $1.50 and will burn on high flame for 80 minutes. Six bottles will allow you to heat two months worth of simple meals.
Buy an $8 container of pool chlorine powder. One teaspoon will treat 60 gallons of river water. You'll need a HUGE container to store the water in so you can fill it and treat it without getting the tiny measurements wrong. Pass river water through cotton sheets to remove debris and silt. Normal tap water is chlorinated too - that's what water treatment plants use. Iodine pills are fantastic but extremely expensive. Bleach works well but has a very short shelf-life. Pool chlorine power will last forever if stored properly.
Tealights cost about $0.15 cents each and burn for about 3 hours. Taller tealights cost about $0.35 cents each and burn for about 7 hours. Put the tealights in short whiskey glasses for safety. Use coasters to prevent wooden tables from being marked by the heat. Solar lights are also a great option. Nighttime lighting is essential to boost your family's morale because otherwise they'll be sitting in the pitch darkness listening to the noises outside. Cover your windows because the light will attract joggers.
Yeah, but what I wanna know is what all those virtue signalers are gonna do with their electric cars.
KEK
They'll abandon them on the side of the freeway after the batteries wear out within about eight years and cost more to replace than buying a new car.
thank GOD there's still people that refuse those wastes of engineering and resources.
You gave me some great info the other day about pool chlorine and getting a generator. Just want to say how much I appreciate your shares here. Valuable contributions! 😊
It was my pleasure. Sorry if I was supposed to get back to you about something but I answer a lot of requests and even more PMs and I often lose track.
Was I supposed to explain how to cook restaurant quality white rice with less than three minutes of gas with you and forgot to reply?
No, but thanks anyway! Fluffy white rice is not part of my prep plan! 😉
But another thought … if you gathered all this info from different places and your own knowledge/experience, have you ever thought about compiling it into a book?
I keep meaning to write a long list of suggestions to post here, there and everywhere. I always feel guilty because I get distracted.
Do you mind if I ask why rice is not part of your prep plan when it's so cheap and easy to store and lasts forever?
Are you stockpiling pasta or something else instead?
These are innocent questions and I don't mean to judge, just curious and eager that I might learn something new.
A 320oz bag of long grain white rice will cost you $8 and provide you with about 160 servings which are perfect to pad out any canned soups or stews and are a fantastic and whole protein with kidney beans, delicious with canned baked beans (add some cumin powder and chili powder to turn it into poor-mans chili con carne), perfect with canned tuna, great as a sweet meal with reconstituted powdered milk and sugar (and cinnamon or vanilla essence if you've got some) and is even nice heated with a dash of soy sauce (fried rice) at $0.05 per serving and only three minutes of gas to cook?
I agree that white rice is a great buy and easy to work with. My husband and I are in our early 70s. I’ve noticed that as we’ve aged the quality of the food we eat has to be really high quality in order for us to maintain strength and energy. (No more Krispy Kreme runs or midnight Cheetos!)
So when we eat rice, we eat brown rice, and not a lot of it. He has Type 2 diabetes, so no white bread or sugar either. I have all kinds of canned and dried beans on hand, as well as seeds for sprouting. I discovered that winter squash means that they last all winter without refrigeration, so we grow our own and save the seeds for replanting.
He invests for us, so that means he’s aware of futures (as opposed to The Future ;) and we stock up on beef, pork, etc., when farm and agri news indicate lower pricing. We’ve also looked into quail farming for meat and eggs when we move to WV—takes up less space than chickens.
A long-winded answer, but I guess it’s good for each family to customize for its needs. We hadn’t covered our water and power needs yet, which is why I asked you about them the other day.
Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate the detail.
I've had Type 1 Diabetes since I was three years old. 'Inject myself with insulin before every meal. My control is exceptional and has been for 50 years because that's a slippery slope that I will not allow myself to slide down. I hope your husband blood tests often and does everything he can to control his levels.
I loved hearing about your winter squash. I'm excited to start a garden as my next project and have already mapped out the area and made a list of what I need... after the bathroom has been retiled. I'll start with potatoes and carrots. Broccoli and cucumber are my favorites but I wanted to start with the essential basics. I've done a LOT of research on gardening and am confident about what to do but am looking forward to learning from my mistakes.
Good on you for managing your diabetes so well! Let me know if you ever decide to write a book. I have almost 50 years working with authors. The first one was a Viet Nam vet in the early 70s. Good books improve the world! Cheers, and have a great day!
also being punished is southern California.
If shtf were to happen then millions would die within days in that region. The mass exodus north would be catastrophic to all surrounding areas. I’d have thousands of gallons stored if I lived there.
A lot of swimming pools there.
That water will kill you if you try to drink it. Lots of chemicals in the water (not straight chlorine but additives as well). And - if the SHTF happens or there is no more electricity after the hydro dries up the pool pumps will die and that water will go stagnant, fill with algae, or even deadly bacteria. Pools could be used for flushing toilets. That's about it.
Hopefully lots of people have solar or it could get very hot indoors.
OP is right - this can be a tragedy.
You should be able to build a solar still and evaporate it, that will leave the salts behind. But folks won't be that smart.
This is true but it would take an awful big surface area to distill enough water for a family to drink/use for cooking/use for washing or cleaning/use for pets. It would work temporarily though. Good call-out.
When they do hopefully they and the cali transplants here in the north wipe each other out and the desert rats can watch with amused grins…
I think it's only electricity that LV has to worry about? Here's a video they did that goes over how much water each state takes from Lake Mead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr5OyaAxr-o
I was surprised that NV takes so little compared to CA and AZ.
NV was the last for water rights. I’ve seen phoenix just run water to the point of inches of water in fields for days
I've only been there twice. I thought they did that when they were balancing water levels in the underground storage?
Lake Mead only supplies about 36% of Las Vegas' electricity, but almost all of its water.
So, water will run out first.
Also, it doesn't matter how much the other states take. It does matter, but that is the micro-picture. The macro-picture is that there is not enough water in total.
Even if LV got 100%, the level is dropping at an alarming rate.
They need to get more water from upstream, but that is not happening.
All these "sources" of where we get our electricity is a farce. Its tesla technology the cabal stole to harness the earths energy and they put up the power lines. Now were paying them thinking its just "part of life" ...
So if Vegas runs out of water and the power is still on this will tell you that something else is keeping the lights on.
It's not a farce. Show us real world usage of Tesla tech, and you will win the Nobel Prize (not that it means anything, anymore). Because nobody ever has.
Until then ... we gots what we gots.
The power can stay on in LV after the water runs dry because they do have alternative sources for electricity, but Lake Mead hydro supplies 36%, and that is about to go bye-bye.
Phoenix next.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand....
Call opone Jesus name and you have light and no longer be trusty!!!! He is the only answer to that problem!!!!
They wont run out of water, but the hoover dam that generates power is a big problem
They are running out of water.
It's obvious.
It would turn into water wars. Whats happening is that lake mead is being drained dry by cali and arizona. The issue with restraining water to those states would cause even more food shortages. This is mostly due to drought conditions in cali exacerbated by governor newsome. Vegas gets 4% of that water while cali takes up a whopping ~50%. These same guys in the video you link explain all that in another video. The billionaires realized this a while back and have built a new drain pipe at the bottom of lake mead to continue pumping water at high rates to the western drought states. Its not water you gotta worry about in LV, its power and then food which would affect the entire nation
They’ve been draining lake Meade.
Interesting to consider that there are dozens of old ghost town out west that died out because the element/ore they were built on, be it copper, silver, gold, borax, etc. ran out. I don't think any ever died because of lack of water. Will Las Vegas become a ghost town in the future because of a lack of water? Probably not, but the boom they experienced during the past 20 to 30 years would seem to be over, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a population decrease, along with significant housing price drops, during the next few years, unless the western drought reverses.
LV running out of water predictions are like global warming predictions. I can't even count how many times over the decades I've read that LV will run out of water/power by X date... maybe this time is real? Maybe.
Watch the first video.
The picture should be crystal clear that this time is different.
I'm not an expert, but it looks no more dire than it previously had... In fact it looks less dire than it did in 2009 when the real estate crash in LV created ghost towns with no money or reasoning for water and power.
Huh? The water level is like HALF what it was in 2009 ... how can that look less dire to you?
The video is hysterical.
https://www.nps.gov/lake/learn/news/timeline.htm
It looked less dire because, because there was less reason and resources to address the issue.
I'm sure the Casinos will not be affected. They will pass the shortage on to the people. No running water or electricity? Come sit by air-conditioned pool and blow your life savings.
Gambling is an addiction. Liberals have no self control and I suspect they will be the ones blowing their life savings in LV. The awakened on the other hand, are using their hard earned money, either setting up, or are already prepared to bug out on remote land they own with a natural water supply, wild game, and stock piling food, seeds, bullets and guns, ready to skedaddle at the first hint of the water apocalypse.
Should've legalized peyote instead of weed!
Sin City should not be illuminated anyway.
Oh man!
THEY ARE TRYING TO PHASE OUT ENERGY. Fissile fuels. Free energy. So they can control it
Almost time to scoop up some LV real estate on the cheap before California commissions some desalinization plants and enters into an inter-governmental agreement with Nevada
While theoretically possible, the California Coastal Commission has repeatedly refused to issue their approval for desalinization plants ... plus they would have to be run on either coal or nuke power.
Good luck getting those built in Cali.
Exactly, public officials failed and led us into this crisis on purpose. Hopefully Cali gets cleaned out and they can lead the way with technology again
If the dam drains water faster than the lake is supplied, the level will go down. This is government management of nature at its finest🤡 Has California stopped water from going to almond farms to make almond milk?
That is precisely the point.
And the almond farms in Cali are also a big problem. But even if those were shut down, and Vegas was given an extra 10% of the water from that savings, it does not change the fact that the water is being drained faster than it is being supplied.
How much is 10% of zero?
In 2020 and 2021 Governor Gavin Newsom ordered California to drain some of it’s largest reservoirs into the ocean. I went to look for MSM articles on the web and they’ve since been scrubbed. There were multiple news stories about this on local Los Angeles TV stations when it was proposed and I can’t find one station that still hosts those reports. I hope when all is said and done that Newsom is one of the first to be hanged for crimes against humanity not only for the unnecessary Covid deaths but the artificial water shortage that was caused by his corrupt negligence.
Here are a couple independent reportings on the draining of the reservoirs.

Lake Mead Drought Update!!! What's Going On?!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCBG_aVkv4s
Vegas also has a huge quantity of ground water, not just lake mead. Many communities are on well water.
The bodies in barrels that have been discovered is disturbing.
Maybe we should all bring bottles of water and dump them into the lake. Then they can all go fill them up in their sinks and do it again. Finally, they can blame the most recent Republican president for the problem.
Seriously, a silver lining to Trump Derangement Syndrome is that it's not all Bush's fault anymore. Yeah he was trash, but no matter how bad he could have been, you'd think hearing a whole party and it's base spend fifteen years blaming the same person for almost everything wrong would've woken more people up.
There's also a huge underground homeless encampment under las vegas as well as other shady stuff:
https://youtu.be/DRrxFX1wfFg
Really wonder what happens to that when the water dries up
Las Vegas receives 90% of its water supply from the Colorado River via Lake Mead.Hover Dam generates more than 4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually,95 percent of which is consumed in other US states and only 5% of Vegas's power comes directly from the dam. The low water is a massive issue for Vegas and yet Vegas continues to drain the lake daily with little restriction.
Been watching the water and it is almost gone, maybe we are almost there.
Is lake Mead drying up bc the state of California is diverting it's water to the ocean?
Well, it certainly doesn't help, but it is not the main reason.
That second video sucks. Shows nothing
KEK
Even better if it happens on Monday Night Football.
