Issue Position: Clean Air

Issue Position

Along the Wasatch Front, we face the unpleasant reality of inversions during the winter that create unhealthy levels of pollution. This is a combination of the temperature, our unique geography, and the pollution we create. I can see the effects on people's health in my clinic if we have a stretch of bad air, and I believe it is important to do things to make our air better. Although there are many different things that we (both as individuals and as a community) can do to improve the air quality, my top priority would be to get our local refineries to move to production of Tier III gasoline. I hope that incentives from the state combined with public awareness and pressure can help us achieve that goal.
