TLDR: All Utah's pollution get blown over to Colorado. EPA blames ozone problems in Colorado on smog generated from Utah
Utah’s legislature agreed something needed to be done and set aside $2 million — for legal fees to sue the EPA and avoid the extra cleanup.
I lived in Utah for a bit, and the half-year long inversions were horrible. It stinks so bad, and literally hurts to breathe. The only escape is to go into the mountains to get above it, where you can look back at the shelf of pollution with a renewed hatred of the Utahn government.
and can actually be - dirtier than Mexico City’s
What the fuck is that about? Mexico City’s AQI is actually fairly clean for the size city it is. Is that just implying that Mexico is dirty?
They should just wait until Trump's SCOTUS strikes down Chevron and then they can turn Utah into as much of a stinking, polluted wasteland as they want.
On the off chance that doesn’t happen it’s probably much easier to start now and ask for forgiveness later. It for sure will be cheaper to start thinning out the pool of potential litigants now than it will be further on.
Those standards, however watered down were somehow an unexpected surprise catching Utah representatives entirely off guard. (Sarcasm)
