Rep. Rebecca Edwards sponsored House Joint Resolution 7, which is a nonbinding resolution to commit the state to consider the environment in future policy decisions, for a future that is “economically and environmentally viable.”
The Legislature passed a bill that would fund $1.65 million of an effort to sue California on the ground that its laws to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, and charge more to utilities that buy power from coal-fired plants, make Utah’s coal a more expensive option.
