And you are forgetting, jfinance, the value of Las Vegas real estate when it becomes a coastal town thanks to global warming!

But Vegas will get it's own. The CO2 released to keep all of the casinos firing will drive global warming, which will dry up the Colorado and you suckers will run out of water (especially once us utahns really get serious about taking our share). Better learn how to take a dirt bath like the birds do.

azsk8fan, that the best you got? come on now, i am sure you have at least one neuron that can fire and come up with something better than blah blah,blah ?? weak crap, fur sure.

Hey all of you in Nevada,
I live in Utah and I don't give a rats crap about your coal plants as long as you keep the smoke and CO2 you generate on your side of the border. We already got dumped on with the radioactivity you guys generated a few decades ago, and our fish are now full of mercury from the air pollution of your silver mines. So fine, mine, drill, burn, explode all you want, but keep it in Nevada instead of just dumping over on our side of the border. Take responsibility for your own actions, conservatives. Isn't that the Ronald Reagan way??
