Some water news — a dry Jan. hurt forecasts for Lake Powell & the Colorado River. Last month, hydrologists thought spring runoff into Lake Powell would be 81% of average. They now expect it to be just 67% of average. But Feb. could bring a reprieve: sltrib.com/news/environme…

Anastasia "big brains" Anastasia Hufham wrote this incredibly smart breakdown of nuclear power and what an energy expansion could mean for Utah, including safety concerns. You've got to read it:

Utah state leaders have been promoting nuclear energy over the last few months. I've gotten a lot of questions about what future nuclear development might mean/look like for the people who live here. Here's what you need to know: sltrib.com/news/environme…

“I know people are really worried that they’re next, and I hate to be grim, but they are,” a worker fired from the USGS in Utah told me. There are thousands of stories like these from federal workers across the country. Hard to fathom. More here: sltrib.com/news/environme…

Naval veteran Greg House was knocking his boss' socks off just months into his hire at the Salt Lake City Veterans Affairs office. Then, DOGE came knocking. sltrib.com/news/environme… The Salt Lake Tribune Anastasia Hufham #federalemployees #fired

🚨Bureau of Land Management fire management staff across multiple states told me DOGE put a $1 limit on their credit cards this week, preventing them from buying time-sensitive supplies. It means if there were to be a fire, they potentially couldn’t travel to fight it.

In 2024, coal made up 46% of Utah’s total electricity generation, with only 5 coal mines operating — the fewest in 150 years. Coal's decline persists despite the state's attempts to help the industry. Solar and natural gas have picked up the slack. sltrib.com/news/environme…

Utah produced a record 65M barrels of oil in 2024 due to drilling in the Uinta Basin. If the state has its way & the Uinta Basin Railway is built, oil production will keep breaking records. More here: sltrib.com/news/environme…

Breaking – SCOTUS overturns prior ruling that federal agencies must consider upstream & downstream environmental impacts from a given project. Big implications for environmental reviews across the country, especially for UT's Uinta Basin Railway: sltrib.com/news/environme…
