Something that surprised me moving to SLC is how they don't care about the environment. The skies are disgustingly polluted especially in the winter but NO EV incentive. In fact they hate EVs here due to oil lobyists. Utah lake and Great Salt Lake are so pulluted from local mining you can't swim in them. Groundwater is super polluted due to the big copper mine that used to let the arcenic just go into the groundwater and into great salt lake. Lake is 1/3rd full and if it goes more empty it will expose the arsenic that the state has allowed to flow into it. It can possibly make SLC a ghost town someday. Reply
Dave, you bring up some very important and valid points. The copper mine was so poorly managed with respect to tailings and therefore contamination of the soils and anything downstream. Utah lake is actually high quality water now (unlike before) but it does maintain a muddy color due to its shallow depth and the sediment I'm on it's lake bed. I'm really really interested to see what we do as a state here moving forward to better manage both air and water quality moving forward.

@@scottdsteele let's face it, the oil lobyists paying the Republican politicians means likely nothing we be done about the air pollution.
