Why do we have to wait for a dystopian future? Can't we build these right now, say, in Colorado or Nevada?

And we won't "run out" of water. The future hydrological cycle might not drop it right where we want it to, but it's not like we're using it up like, say, oil.
Oh crap now I'm depressed again.

We sure as hell are running out of usable freshwater. Most regions moved past dipping a cup in the local mountain stream endlessly renewed by rainwater decades ago. We overconsume freshwater, thus depleting rivers and aquifers, then we contaminate the runoff so it's not good for anything without huge investments in water treatment that third world countries can't afford. Unless half the population of Asia and North Africa moves to the Amazon basin, they've got a huge problem. Here's the Wikipedia article, here's another summary.

It would be better if you wrote it from the sauna that is Giz Gallery. John's here, sweating his balls off. Why aren't you?

But if we can figure out a way to completely get rid of nuclear waste, the hippes will have no reason anymore to keep America out of the wonderful nuclear energy business...

unfortunately, america has taken the naive stance of a moratorium on reprocessing for proliferation reasons. there's no reason we can't use reprocessing here in the states without exporting it. plus, enough countries know how to do it know that we're not really stopping anyone from figuring it out by refusing to do it ourselves. and if you ask me, our biggest threat is terrorists and countries like north korea and iran getting ahold of ready-to-use weapons from other countries (former bloc countries, for example).
and strictly speaking, we don't need cold fusion. hot fusion is just fine, as long as we can get it enough above 100% efficient to make it economical.

On my motorcycle, I have found even a modified horn gets ignored, so I generally open the throttle in bursts. An artificial engine noise may get noticed (as a threat?) even easier.

FUCK YOU ALL! I HATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU COCK-SUCKERS AND I HOPE YOU GET SOME HIDEOUS VENEREAL DISEASE AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR WORTHLESS LIVES CLAWING AT YOUR GENITALS! I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL, FUCKERS! GO CHOKE ON A DICK!
Come to think of it - all I need is a bullhorn strapped to the top of my car hooked up to a tape player on loop. Does anyone know where I can buy a bullhorn for my car?

@OMG! Ponies!: You need one of these..

The frakkin' Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg who wear all black from head-to-toe, have big black beards and big black hats, and then CROSS THE STREET AT POORLY LIT INTERSECTIONS AGAINST THE LIGHT!
I have nothing wrong with other peoples' religions or observance thereof. But I'm pretty sure that YHWH didn't say that it's okay for the Chosen People to do dumb shit like play Invisible Pedestrian.
How's this sound: We drivers will obey our laws and pedestrians obey their laws. I keep a good enough lookout for people regardless of religion, race, handicap, or whatever, not to hit them with my car. All I ask is that people cross with the light or if traffic permits, that they keep a lookout for traffic, and that they only cross at the corners.
If people will only cross at the corners then I will only drive on the street.

Am I the only one after a BTTF DeLorean engine sound?
I'd pay QUADRUPLE for that!

See? Simple, and respectful of other people's desire not to hear your damn pipes.
