Issues: Oil and Gas Environment
Utah's geography has created challenges for our air quality. While nature has placed some limits on what we can do, there are steps we can take to improve the air quality along the Wasatch Front. This year I am sponsoring legislation that would allow citizens to voluntarily pay a little extra on their utility bill to go towards retrofitting the State's vehicle fleet to run on natural gas. Natural gas dramatically improves gas mileage efficiency and burns much cleaner than typical gasoline. Plus, Utah has vast amounts of natural gas reserves that provide jobs and funding for our students education.
