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:

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:
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”:

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
