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:
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?
