Vegas is shafted. What are they going to do when the hoover dam stops producing power

Bro, Vegas is shafted dawg, what are they going to do when the hoover dam stops producing power

https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2022-06-20/as-colorado-river-reservoirs-drop-states-urged-to-act-now

"Lake Powell, on the Utah-Arizona border, is forecast to decline more than 30 feet by March, putting the water level about 16 feet from the point at which Glen Canyon Dam would no longer generate electricity. Last year, the dam generated enough electricity to fully supply the energy needs of more than 300,000 average homes, with power flowing onto the grid to supply states from Nevada to Colorado."

Lake mead is at 28% capacity

    Big cutbacks, there are drought contingency plans in place for these scenarios. Rolling blackouts will be more common. Remember that Commiefornia gets the largest allocation of water from the lake because they are the largest ag producer. Yet they refuse to construct a desalination facility to offset the need from the Colorado.

      All of those in Vegas and PHX/Tucson had to do was adjust their water consumption on a routine basis to keep the water table at steady state. It's something everyone in the desert has been doing for decades. Then Cali gets involved and it magically falls apart. I wonder where the problem is?

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      Also the desert cities are for the most part responsible for their consumption. Vegas by itself has adopted a recycling policy that puts over 90% of consumed water back into the lake. People have worked with this fine for decades with no issue. Then farmers in south cali were somehow included in this group and immediately start draining all lakes in the region. The problem isn't people living in arid climates, it's just cali ignorance -- status quo I suppose.

      I had the same thought. We need massive nuclear power production capacity so we can meet the electric and desalinization needs for the southwest into the future, plus the ability to fill up Lake Powell and Lake Mead so they can produce even more electricity via the Glen Canyon and Hoover dams and supply the rest of the southwest with water.

          You're right. A lot needs to change. We need to move away from uranium and go with much smaller and cheaper thorium reactors. We need a lot of them and we need far less regulation that forces companies jump through the DOEs insane hoops for decades while spending billions. This could be possible with an element that is far less dangerous and much more difficult to turn into fissile material.

    The rate of decline in the elevation of the water surface will increase. As the water level drops, more of the sides of the lake that used to be underwater are now dry, becoming hot and reflecting heat back to the ever decreasing volume of water. The warmer water will evaporate faster and the rate will increase. If only the water had been vaccinated this never would have happened.

    Well, like most all problems in the modern world, California is to blame. The fricking state is a cancer generating engine to society on practically every level, and is why nearly everyone in the country hates them. Ergo, cut off Cali and most problems fix themselves.

    But that won't happen. Cali will continue fricking 3 adjacent states out of water and even some a few states inland, and all that will happen is it will be swept under the climate rug and be used to instigate more political leverage in the name of "climate change" which I'm starting to suspect doesn't actually exist. And then millions will go without water and power...

    I mean frick me. The colorado river barely even touches Cali, yet they take 50% of the water from it. Most of which goes to irremediably moronic and gullible boomers who thought make farms in the desert would somehow magically workout. I swear there is nothing good that can come out of these people, they somehow always find ways to frick shit up.

    What the frick did they think was going to happen when they put lakes in the desert?
