Could be worse. You could live in Alberta where they pump out more global warming emissions than the rest of the country reduces ... and legally can't be stopped from being d.c.w.ds

I've always wanted to go to Salt Lake and find Smithson's piece. I'd like to be able to find it without having to locate the oil drills first.

Won't be stopped - not in SLC - but, can build a structure to mask it.

By the way, Salt Lake is drying up, FYI. What do do with millions of tons of salt.

Climate change will reduce the unique and wonderful lake even faster.

No intervention from here.

@4 You make BILLIONS of tons of chips. Or french fries. Which are chips in England. And aren't French in France. And I'm not even going to start with crisps.

Have any of you been there? It is a glorious and strange landscape. I stood at the edge of red kool-aid like water lapping up onto white salt shores, next to dark black rocks with the most beautiful sky id ever seen. Huge foamy clouds skittered across the water in the wind. That place is magic out there...It would also be very very easy to build, drill, do whatever becuase there is nothing and no one around...save it!!!!
