The Wasatch Front does not have a large water supply to play with and St. George certainly needs to worry about water in the future too since they are in the middle of the desert. The whole southwest is in a continuing drought cycle.

Actually, the Wasatch Front's overall air quality has improved dramatically since the days when the population was but a fraction of what it is now. Hopefully we will be driving even much cleaner/and or electric cars and the Wasatch trend toward light and commuter rail will continue.
As for water,I very much agree.(just a thought)- We need a water pipeline up the I-15 corridor from L.A. to Vegas to St. George to the Wasatch, delivering desalinated water,"not oil."
