    Feds: “well damn, Nevada, I can’t control the weather!”

    The catastrophic impacts are inevitable. Particularly since there has been no sincere effort to ration the water. Get rid of the golf courses, alfalfa, and almond trees to start with.

    I just find it interesting that the only state not facing cuts is Utah. Almost like politics are what’s deciding it, not something reasonable. Utah has a lot of industry, that Oracle prick is building the world’s biggest data center there, this wouldn’t have anything to do with that, would it?

    Clark County already recycles waste water and places it back in Lake Mead. As a result, almost all net losses are from outdoor usage.

    This means banning lawns, golf courses, fountains (yes you Bellagio), and evaporative cooling. It’s only going to get worse.
