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:
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.
