The Real Reason Lake Mead's Water Levels are Rising

    The thing that truly sets DC apart from other American cities is it’s fantastic public transportation and mid-rise high-density urban design. It’s clearly very much inspired by Paris and does a very decent job functioning like it.

    Very nice video, but a few corrections: 1. The video implies that the National Mall Pierre L'Enfant planned extended to the Lincoln Memorial. When L'Enfant planned the city, the locaton of the Lincoln Memorial was part of the Potomac River and Mall L'Enfant envisioned only went to 17th Street, on the other side of where the Washington Monument was later built. 2. The map showing the Smithsonians include both the east and west buildings of the National Gallery of Art, however these are not part of the Smithsonian. 3. It's also odd that at the beginning of the video L'Enfant is credited for the wide avenues of Washington DC, but at the end it was stated the wide avenues were designed to accommodate cars, when cars weren't even invented a hundred years after L'Enfant's death. Still, a nice video and the explanation of how Washington DC inspired the design of Brasilia and New Dehli is very interesting.

    Lake mead is a man made Lake. The only environmental damage has been the flooding of the basin when the hoover dam was built in the 1930s. Low waters is a good thing as it restores the landscape back to its original form.

    I think it's important to mention that those taxes as well as road tolls are sort of painfully high. I did a calculation for an import of a used diesel car costs and ended up with a value comparable to its price. The road tolls are very diverse, the highest I've encountered so far was for entering any major city. As a tourist I drove two times into Bergen and paid like 50 euro. The residents have some discounted options, but the scale is similar, I think. Now imagine you have to commute to Oslo regularly. This makes owning a non-electric car extremely expensive in many cases.

    He gets it painfully wrong on charging in the United States. Tesla charging is fine works great and there are few locations you can’t go. Charging for everybody else is a disaster area especially the government 7.5 billion for 500k charging stations. They are currently at 8 chargers. Fortunately with Tesla opening to everybody else these problems with be fixed for non-Tesla EVs. USA power grid is going to be another issue especially on east cost which get little sunlight in winter. USA is slow to expand power which it need to expand quickly for EVs and computer particularly AI computation. All this while 20% percent of our power from nuclear will go offline as they are forced to close from being too old.

    I stopped taking the video seriously when it said New York, a city designed in the 17th and 18th centuries and where over half of the residents take public transit, was designed for the automobile. You can make the argument that the grid system was a lot easier to adapt to the automobile, but in no way was New York designed for it.

    STOP sending water to CA from Lake Mead for agriculture use since they are WAY overallocated and other areas of the nation can grow food that the desert CA Central Valley soaks up like a sponge. What can be done to replenish Lake Mead is to pump Lake Havasu water back into the Mead and limit the water flowing West to CA through the Colorado Aqueduct that will only serve Southern CA RESIDENTS.....

    LV doesn't use anywhere near as much water as the surrounding states do. Ironically, the city of excess is a beacon of resource recycling, and is largely self sustaining as far as water and power go. My wife and I moved out of LV in 2022, concerned that water levels were dropping too low and could make our pool, and therefor our property, obsolete. We didn't want to risk it. Sad to have left, but happy to hear Lake Mead is making some recovery.
