Granite Construction couldn't care less about what they do to make money in Utah. But we can stop them if enough citizens demand it.
Stay tuned for what comes next and how you can help stop it!

But even a phase 1 much smaller mine would still be bad for air quality, bad for our watershed, terrible for the aesthetic value of the eastern gateway to SLC, and a hideous monument to the utter failure of our state government to protect our environment and the common good.

So now they have applied for a much smaller permit just to get their foot in the door, but they undoubtedly plan to expand to the much bigger mine they sought originally. What they really want hasn't changed, they've just changed their strategy to take full advantage of Utah's weak mining laws.

Instead of another sweater or gadget, you can give the gift of clean air: a gift that eases a child’s breathing, supports a parent’s heart health, reduces asthma attacks, and creates a safer future for all of us who call Utah home.

And communities living closest to highways, industrial sites, and dust hotspots who shoulder the heaviest burden day after day.
That’s why this year, I’m asking you to consider a different kind of holiday gift, one that has the power to protect the people you love most.

For too many Utahns, that act isn’t simple at all. Children with asthma are forced to sit out recess. Older adults whose chests tighten when winter inversions settle in. Pregnant women advised to stay indoors. Friends and relatives who end up in the ER on high pollution days.

As long as our state government continues to pretend that the climate crisis doesn't exist, we must pursue any possible redress through the courts.

Once again Utah students are suing to protect their future. This time they are suing the state's Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining (DOGM) for the harm their permitting of fossil fuel development is doing to the students' future well-being. UPHE stands behind the students.

“The big picture is that the global warming clock for emissions reductions to minimize the risk of dangerous climate change has been brought forward by at least a decade,” Malcolm McCulloch, lead author of the study, told the Associated Press. “Basically, time’s running out.”

There is growing evidence that scientists have miscalculated the time line for crossing the all-important threshold of a 1.5 degree C increase in global temperatures to avert the climate crisis. New evidence suggests we crossed that threshold five years ago.
