This is an ethical issue as well. We need to stop inefficient developments from destroying our environment, namely the air we breath! This is serious and should be dealt with as soon as possible! What unhealthy levels will we allow our air to get to before we decide to make some drastic changes? There are higher cases of children with asthma per capita in the Salt Lake Metro today than there were a decade ago. People are leaving the metro because of health concerns related to the pollutants in our air! I bet, and there is no way to really measure this, people are dying sooner because of our bad air quality. We must start now! Also, we should not base our economy, or infrastructure, on any non-renewable energy source, because once it's gone, we'd be screwed!
