[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1763953, member: 42463"] Is Lake Mead still generating power? My brother that was involved in the power grid around Boulder City told me last year that most of the turbines had been shut down and the last was due to be in July. Maybe they got some kind of Hail Mary that kept it up. Regardless, the lakes are so low that anyone with a brain is worried. They've even built a drain in the bottom of Mead so they can wring every last ounce (not accurate, a figure of speech) from the bottom. And of course there are fluctuations (duh) but the degree of drought, the lack of snow/rain. the lack of accumulated snow pack, and the drying lakes streams, rivers, and even springs is troubling to those of us that live here. The Great Salt Lake has NEVER been dry and it is expected to be completely dry. And yet they closed the Salt Flats for racing due to flooding this year. But that's more a condition of the Salt deteriorating than that there was any increase in water. [/QUOTE]
