– This story particularly upsets the Moses-strikes-the-stone, manna for breakfast daily & lotsa-great-sex menfolk of Utah. But funny? So not funny. It’s THEIR barking- or gobbling-mad engineered neoliberal apocalypse unfolding here for us all.

I have love(d) visiting the Mountain West and Utah for decades, I went to college in Boulder, but the Mountain West’s success is apparently catching up to it with the consequences that sometimes accompany unconstrained success.

The West is, well, just plain running out of water. Lake Powell and others are at 1/3 of their historic levels threatening power generation and water for agriculture and drinking, Mad Max anyone?. Now the Great Salt Lake (GSL) is apparently 5 years from running dry. This is a problem on multiple fronts as well. For decades industry and farms that surround the lake have been allowing arsenic to leach into the GSL and as it dries out the winds that blow over the lake will start spreading Arsenic and other toxins across the Salt Lake City basin. Water is a major issue and the western states and cities have long ignored the fact that they are located in a desert. New residents and industries use more and more water and there isn’t enough water. Will this stop the building boom? Will residents move away? Will the ski industry collapse?
