Murray is plugged in to renewable energy

I usually do not make comments, but as a WEST side resident of Murray City, I feel that Rebecca needs to go back to school and study her geography.

Murray makes me proud to be a resident of Utah. Our legislators would be wise to read this article and start thinking about our state and our children's future instead of dooming us to the smoggy, regressive present.

All the mayor has accomplished is make a feel-good gesture that will placate the environmentally fashionable, cause financial hardship for the city's poorest residents, and accomplish next to nothing environmentally. There are trade-offs for all energy sources including solar, wind, and landfill methane, that diminish the total environmental difference between those sources and coal. Murray residents jjust end up paying more so the Mayor and a few others can feel good about themselves.

Perhaps the mayor should try to find the evidence that CO2 has ever caused warming on earth before he commits his people's money to tilting at windmills. Perhaps Murray residents should try to find it, too. And good luck.
