The air in the SLC valley area is horrible. Natural temperature inversions trap all the pollution until it gets so bad you can't see the mountains 1/2 a mile away. Of course Utah is totally run by the realtors and the state is being greedily plundered now days. Pretty much all the politicians bend over for whomever flash the money at them and any thoughts to quality of life, restricting growth, protecting the wilderness, etc go out the door. It makes me sick to see what goes on here. Heck we are fighting the new California owners of Powder Mt for the water we've owned since the 1800s. Both culinary and secondary water bills are double now just from the litigation costs of these stealing modern day land barons. What has our country come to when the common people have to pay to keep those with money from stealing what we have legally owned for generations?!
They even tried to put a halt to people using wood stoves to heat while letting countless refineries and other factories continually dump more and more crap into the air. It's so bad in the Wood Cross/North Salt Lake area that you can taste the chemicals in the air as you drive through.
And I'm not some bleeding heart, tree hugging zealot. But you can't have a conscience and not be sick seeing what is being allowed to happen here.
