What would angle do to solve the Las Vegas water problem?

[Bravo Zulu]

I believe the Government is only hope Las Vegas has, if she destroys the Government, who will step up and solve their problem?

Las Vegas, NV

Major Water Supply: Lake Mead/Colorado River
Population (U.S. rank): 567,000 (28th)
Population Growth Rate: 18.6% since 2000
Average Annual Rainfall: 4.5 in.

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, with an annual precipitation rate of only 10 cm, Las Vegas must rely on distant sources for its fresh water. The city’s main source is Lake Mead, which supplies 85% of the water used in the Las Vegas Valley. Unfortunately, the lake is 59% empty and is approaching its first water shortage ever. In addition to Las Vegas, it would affect other areas of Nevada and Arizona. Moreover, it could potentially stop the Hoover dam from producing electricity – as soon as 2013. This would affect many big California cities that receive hydro-electric power through the dam.

1. Government should have no part in supplying the water.

If we're meant to have water in the desert, God will provide it. He has a plan, ya know.

3. I forgot about god,

but I'm an Atheist!

5. Then Angle will be after you

she'll lock you up in one of those FEMA camps Obama is building for your re-education. Get your affairs in order, friend.

4. Yep, God works in mysterious ways. That's what they used to tell me when I used to

say WTF.

[rucky]

2. Dowse, baby, dowse!

[Drale]

6. Honestly?

Who decided to build a city in the middle of the desert anyway?

[Motown_Johnny]

8. I heard it was mobsters.....

[Catshrink]

10. Yeah, Godfather Part II

Or was it III?

[safeinOhio]

13. It was a gamble

with stacked odds.

[Ikonoklast]

7. There is no problem.

Unlike any problem that the rest of us have to deal with in the real world, in Republican RandLand the free market will solve everything.


Water will just cost $43 a gallon, and there will be a waiting list.

16. Will the water company accept chickens as payment?

[baldguy]

9. Bomb Canada & steal the Great Lakes.

11. if she is a Senator then God and all the Angels will cry and you will have your water

[madinmaryland]

12. The real problem is they built a city in the desert that had no water supply.

At some point, the region and the country is going to have to decide if gambling is more important than food.

:shrug:

14. She seems... really dumb

Why would anyone take her seriously?

I don't like Reid for how he described Obama as a 'negro,' but this is what Nevadans vote for?

[TheKentuckian]

15. I'm sure she'd remind people they can buy water at the store or perhaps suggest a crony

with a water service.

[deacon]

17. 'Let them eat snake' attitude I suspect. n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

18. I am sure Angle will probably

Rid the desert of Casinos, and then worry about the water..
