The funny thing is that Utah has some of the worst air pollution in the world. Yet they keep pushing to make it worse. I remember a couple of years ago in summer doctors in the state beg government to restrict private cars till the air problem clear up and the gov told them to fuck off.

I can imagine why it’s like that, going to SLC as someone from the flat part of NJ was astounding. It didn’t matter which direction I looked, there was mountain encircling us.
I drove through SLC a few years back and it was like a giant brown cloud hanging over the city. I used to live in LA, I'm familiar with smog, this was actually worse.
