They are just so proud of living in that vast land with only people who look like them whose homes are spread out ten miles apart. They see it as representing "freedom" but they don't produce anything that keeps the country thriving or free. And all that time alone and isolated makes them mistrustful of a government whose actions and decisions in the past has made it possible for them to sustain livelihood in their waste land area in the first place. So much time on their hands and so limited interaction with other folks outside their demographic bubble causes them to be susceptible to all sorts of conspiracies and distrustful of "others" from larger communities.

Just to add, the Rockies are young, coming in around 50 million years old. Meanwhile the Appalachian range is around 480 million years old. It's had way more exposure to the weather. Geologists estimate that, in the beginning, the Appalachias were as tall as the Himalayas. Before all that weather, shifting, and time got to them.

Thanks again for reacting to something about the US of substance. The availability of water across the US, especially in the West, is an interesting subject. I recall being taught in American history and geography about the increased dryness that began at about the 100th meridian a you move west, and the fact that many of the maps of the westward--moving settlers in the 19th century called it "The Great American Desert." And that southwestern area of the US is basically desert.

I live right on the southern edge of the 98th meridian and I can comfirm, when you head west it goes from general woodlands into desert pretty quickly over about 30 minutes drive. Its considered pretty risky to head west in south Texas if you are not on a main highway, the roads are bad, the heat can be deadly and if you have car problems good luck finding a ride out there.

The height of mountains is that moisture, as clouds has to go over the mountains. So the taller the mountain the more drastically the rain shadow effect is there. In the area I lived, it seemed like the the area the rain stopped and the hills started was the central/mountain timezone line. Part of that may have been since they were moving water in by irrigation. The area was so low in population, we had the only red light for 50 miles. There is a county of 6,000 square miles with 6,000 people 2 counties from where I lived.

The consumption of water in California due to population and crops are what is causing the problem with the Colorado river. Growing almonds and cotton in what is what is considered a desert is ridiculous. Then add the fact that California has NO water restrictions while states with restrictions are give a 20% reduction is ludicrous. They will have to put in a pipeline from the Mississippi River or desalination plants if they don’t fix the amount of water used by this state.

I live at the center of the frontier line, about 90 miles north of Wichita. To the east are trees and cities. The farther east, the more cities. To the west is empty treeless rangeland. When I travel to the light oasis known as Denver, it takes me through 6 hours of nothingness on I-70. I program my car and it drives me through it at 80 mph, doing all the braking and accelerating for me. I still have to pay attention and steer it in the right direction. Many times, my car will shake the steering wheel and beep at me to get my attention when I begin to get hypnotized by the straight road and monotony and the car senses I’m drifting. It’s crazy empty in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. For Brits, the distance from my town to Denver is almost exactly the same from London to Edinburgh.

Yeah, what's going on is all about topography: the shape of the continent's surface in the vertical dimension. The West (except for the narrow strip along the coast; so we're talking mainly about the Southwest, Mountain States, and Great Plains, and the equivalent parts of Canada and Mexico) is on the lee side of one of the world's largest mountain ranges. Prevailing winds at these latitudes are west-to-east, so as the air passes over the Pacific, it picks up moisture from evaporation, but when it reaches the mountains, it gets pushed uphill, which changes the pressure and temperature, at which point the air can't hold as much moisture as before and it all drops as rain, on the way uphill. Then once it passes over to the lee side and starts downhill, the temperature and pressure move back toward the lower-altitude norm, increasing the amount of moisture the air can hold. Since most of the moisture that was formerly in the air is now gone, the air acts like a dry sponge, soaking up whatever evaporates and raining very little back down. Most of Montana, Nevada, and Arizona are incredibly dry for this reason. Moving further east, the Great Plains (Dakotas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, central Texas) are not as close to the mountains and so not in the worst of the rain shadow and therefore are somewhat less of an outright desert, but rainfall is still limited, because the air is still moving overall downhill as it moves away from the mountains and down into the river valley. However, once you cross the Mississippi, the land starts back uphill, and rain becomes abundant. From the Mississippi River eastward, folks worry more about flood than drought, and things like city storm sewers are designed to route excess water downstream and away as efficiently as possible; rain is generally considered a nuisance and/or a necessary evil. South America would have the same thing, except that the prevailing wind direction at those latitudes is east-to-west, so Brasil ends up being a rainforest; the area west of the Andes is dry (e.g., the Atacama Desert is there) but is not very large, because the mountains are very close to the Pacific; and the area right along the coast does get some moisture from on-shore breezes and such. The Appalachians aren't nearly as steep or tall. The tops are very rounded and are densely forested (whereas, the top third or so of the Rockies is above the tree line, and many of the peaks have permanent snow caps). Also, the area to the east of them is subject to hurricanes (in the South) and noreasters (in the north). The "thousands of years" thing is abject speculation based on computer modeling, smoke, mirrors, opinions, and ideology. We only have actual data for the last hundred years or so, and limited/anecdotal information for another hundred years or so before that.

It's an engineering and human will problem. There ARE solutions that could be done (not easily or cheaply), but would require great commitment and investment. Essentially, a combination of new reservoirs, pipelines, desalination and nuclear power plants could transform the Western half of the US into a lush environment. A woman from NYC is already proving the point by making small periodic reservoirs along rivers in the West, thus altering the microclimate along the river's path into lush areas supporting more plant and animal life. Human impact is NOT intrinsically a bad thing, as some would have people believe.

You don't realize it for a while then you think wow I never am in a traffic jam, there is no dmv I just go to a tag agency and get anything done in a couple minutes, there are no lines anywhere, you don't need appointments or reservations, nothing is ever out of stock, you get to experience crazy weather, no sirens and helicopters always flying around, just a train every week or so you hear when you wake up, people actually look at you and acknowledge you and talk with you everywhere and are not just balls deep in their phone worrying about what social media shit is going on that second to the next.

On that rainfall map neither the dots representing the cities nor even the 100th Meridian line are accurately placed. Both Dodge City & Abilene are in the 99th Meridian for one & Abilene is actually a little bit further south than Dallas is. But the distances between them are roughly Abilene to Dallas is 172.6 miles, Dodge City to Wichita is 147.67 miles, & Amarillo to Oklahoma City is 244.07 miles. Those are just using straight lines between the cities to measure the distance, obviously travelling on a road would be longer.

Rockies 50-80 million yrs) are young compared to The Appalachian Mountains (480 million years). The Appalachians were as high as the Himalayans at one point. Our tectonic plates go off sometimes but it’s only .4-1 on the scale so nothing noticeable they are ancient.

The huge and historic windmills, in Palm Springs, Calif, where I live, generates great amounts of electricity, not for Palm Springs, nor Californians, it seems! No, most of it is given to Arizona and Las Vegas. Surely this makes sense somehow? Somewhat? Sometime? Somewhere Someway? Someone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I'm proud to live in that middle area. There's enough of us already, we're rural and happy with it! I take some issue with the narrator saying that there is no "civilization" and this area is "empty." There are plenty of nice small towns in our area, just not crowded. And we like it that way!

You are so defensive and insecure. You live in an area with barely any people that provide next to nothing in resources but somehow you get equal representation in the Senate.

A person that has the money to take on an expensive, but minor risk, could invest in a fleet of desalination boats. In less than 20 years, it'll be the most important industry in Southern California. There will need the be 10s of thousands of these boats, to provide the water, that the Colorado River does now.

There's a whole big ocean to the west of California... I agree desalinization/ reverse osmosis is something to consider. I heard that recently a desalinization plant was voted down in Orange County, CA.

Sierra Nevada mountain range has the highest mountain in the contiguous 48 states: Mount Whitney, at 14505 feet (4421 meters). It’s even more stark that it is about 100 miles away from Death Valley, the lowest elevation in the world (-282 feet, -86 meters below sea level). King’s Canyon is the deepest/steepest of the range having a maximum 8200 ft depth (2500 meters), depending on criteria, it is the deepest canyon in the US. (Hell’s Canyon in Idaho is the other contender)

Water and food. Used to be food was more local then than now. The West is dry and mountainous. Just one state, Wyoming, is bigger than Britain, and only has less than 1/10th the population.

A long time ago, I remember my dad drove me through Wyoming. It was beautiful, but you would travel for hours without seeing a single house, and then out of nowhere, you would come across a big house literally in the middle of nowhere. How do people live like this? How do you go to the store? I don't know.
