Tribune Editorial: Cleaning up our air will cost money. Let’s get started.

The death-dealing air pollution that so often hangs over the Wasatch Front has many thousands of causes. With no single smokestack that could be plugged, no particular activity that could be banned, and no one political or regulatory act that could heap credit on a specific elected official or agency, doing anything to face the problem always seemed like someone else’s job.

That’s why it is such good news that at least some members of the Utah Legislature seem to be facing up to the fact that, with no silver bullet available to slay our air quality problem, it is time to get off as many shots as we can in as many different directions.
