The race to stop Las Vegas from running dry

Update:

Water levels are still falling.  Scary fast, says this guy.

Amid a brutal drought the reservoir that supplies 90 per cent of Las Vegas’s water is fast disappearing and desperate attempts to save Sin City are under way

Save Sin City?  Hmm.  How do you do that?

The growth of the city is outstripping it's ability to sustain itself.  Yet, it is no different than a lot big cities, like Los Angeles, which also uses water from Lake Mead, which is running dry.  It is a metaphor for this country, that doesn't seem to get it that it's in big trouble.  The story goes on to say that the city may have to depopulate itself if a solution isn't found.  Yet they are still building.

A solution is possible, but they will never do it because it would make too much sense.  Molten salt reactors could supply them with water and electricity.

But should you "save" a city that refers to itself as "Sin City"?

If Sin City and LA go under, what do you think is going to happen to the economy?  Another big economic crash because that may be all it takes to take an over-leveraged economy over the brink.

Update:

Another signal failure?  You had better read the article that's linked above.  The failure is all but guaranteed now.  You must prepare yourself because a very troubling event will occur.  It would be on par with Katrina, but this time, there's a Democrat in the White House.  Never fear, they'll somehow blame anybody but themselves for this.  Yet, the GOP isn't blameless.  They should be acting now, but aren't.  They are just junior partners in this arrangement, not a true opposition party.
