Is it silly? There is a problem already noted with rising ocean levels increasing the salinity of fertile soil in many coastal nations. In fact I remember reading a story about rising storm lines killing rice fields and the search for more saline-resistant strains. So yes, doing this in order to turn Nevada into arable land may not be the best idea, but there is merit to the research.
