Park City has wisely teamed with other towns in the western U.S. to recommend that royalties be added to the cost of coal as a means to disincentivize its use and reduce CO2 emissions.
This is, of course, important to protect the winter tourism industry in Utah, which stands to lose mightily from chronic lower snowfalls. If such steps are taken, the entire local economy stands to benefit as well.

So Utah wants to just steal money from the rest of us?
Where did they ever get an idea like that?
“to lose mightily from chronic lower snowfalls”. Brought to you by algore’s invention of glow bull climate change. WOW! First “Love Story”, then the internet, then glow bull climate, uh, something. That frickin’ guy is awesome.
This reads like it was written by a 7th grader.
The average IQ in Park City is remarkably lower then it should be.
Dimbulb trustafarians smoking ganja and snowboarding cpupled with an illegal alien workforce all takes its toll!
The lack of snowfall is old news as anyone who remembers the winter of 76-77 can tell you.
Got nothing to do with coal mining in central Utah or power plants in Delta.
Who the hell could believe anything these liars tell you?
Yes...there are a few LIB idiots in UT. Dang!
I wonder how much CO2 is generated by airplanes and other fossil-fuel burning vehicles conveying vacationers, skiers, etc., to Park City, for unnecessary recreational purposes. PC needs to ban immoral behavior like that. And no horse and mule travelers, since equines generate methane. Restrict access to beanless hikers and cross-country skiers.
They infest SLC universities and continue to pour into St. George, retiring from SoCal to play year round golf in their sunshine years.
How convoluted is this? When people have to pay exorbitant rates to stay warm and the ski resorts have to pay exorbitant rates to run the lifts who can afford ski vacations?
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

As a weekly reader, (no pun intended) of the rag, my contention is, leftists, are the only letter writers remaining. All other contributors have been shut up by the leftists uninterested in debate or discourse. All such contributions are much much lower than seventh grade level.
One private individual in Utah writes a letter to the editor and that gets interpreted to Utah wants to steal money from us? You’re generalizing the wrong state. That is by no means the norm here.
Stupid normally hurts, but stupid at that level probably cannot even recognize pain. A carbon tax would make travel to Utah more expensive. It would make heating those cold, mountaintop ski resorts more expensive. It would make everything in life, including necessities more expensive, leaving less money for luxuries such as vacations in Utah. A carbon tax would be a big win for the parasites who would live even larger on the “free money”, but it would be a big loss for discretionary spending, such as winter travel vacation sites.
I really thought that the Mormons wouldn’t succomb to lib-O-science, but I forgot that contacts with journalists can suck the IQ out of anyone.
A letter from the same guy back in november 2014
