Calling Utah Power to Repentance

   The Utah Legislature is failing us. While utility rates are projected to shoot up in coming years, the legislature is doing nothing. With charging electric vehicles and other uses expanding, we are running towards a shortage of electricity.

   Now, it is Utah Power's responsibility to ensure our power plants to meet our energy needs, but it is the legislature's responsibility to insist that Utah Power meets its obligation. Trouble is, instead of keeping Utah Power on track, the legislature has been knocking the utility company off track, passing laws curbing the use of sources such as solar and wind.

   The legislature should repent.
