>Las Vegas is growing at a staggering rate. Clark county, where the city is located, is home to roughly 2.3 million people, but forecasts predict the population could go beyond 4 million by 2055.

>Attracted by the lure of cheaper costs of living, lower taxes, and newly built homes, more than half a million people are expected to flock to southern Nevada in just the next 15 years. To accommodate them, the region’s arid landscape is being converted into strip malls and shopping centers as winding cul de sacs creep closer to the rocky hillsides.

Why is Las Vegas growing so fast? You'd think people were aware of the oil unafforability and water scarcity that's going to hit the city.

Water scarcity is no joke. Vegas will be a ghost town within decades.

The short answer is that people are retarded.
But there are reason why water and oil won't be a problem in the long run.

In 20 years max energy will be practically free. Geothermal and/or batteries+renewable will make it so energy is practically unlimited and has no cost except for the initial investment.

The biggest problem with desalination is energy, therefore water is solved.

Oil price will decrease (if not war or similar) as it won't be needed to make energy. Solved.

1) they aren't people, they're niggerfornia refugees
2) niggerfornia refugees aren't smart enough to think about anything, let alone water scarcity.

I moved from SoCal in 2019 prior to the pandemic and bought a home in Summerlin.
It’s 100x nicer and safer then L.A
Nice perk of milfs in the neighborhood without going to the strip for action.
Rampart circle bar on weekends I can pick which lonely 45+ lady I’ll pursue then take em back to the JW on site.

Not enough corn to make the amount of plastics ?
Plus, Elon, hasn't fired up the electric tractorcombinegraincart, assembly line, you know, corn farming equipment. So no corn for plastic farm equipment parts. A vicious cycle ?

What a dumb comeback. Op proposed a scenario where there would be plenty of oil to make plastic from since energy comes from non-oil sources. If you wanted to attack him, you should have argued the cost of renewables or the inadequecy of minerals for batteries.

No it doesn't, you embarrassing retard. Las Vegas gets its water from Lake Mead, which gets it from the Colorado River. There's no end it site for the megadrought.

First as oil is needed less for cars and energy there will be plenty for plastic
Second there are already cheaper alternative for plastic in many cases

First point is right, second and third are wrong.
In the last few years batteries are popping up like crazy, using basically any material known.
Renewable cost already less than fossil fuel, and we are just getting started (literally, the funding have increase only in recent years)
