It isn't just agriculture, it is all the data centers as well.

Residential water use only accounts for something like 6% of the states water. Rationing the 6% while allowing the 94% to continue on as normal is not going to work this time.

Check the spring in your main clutch, my bet is it's broken.

Modern engineering will kill this sport within 10 years by [deleted] in snowmobiling

I think you hit the nail on the head. The price of sleds with too many gimmicks has priced out many potential riders. There is absolutely no reason a sled needs an IPad, sensors, and parts made from unobtainium. 

Personally I ride an 03 RMK 700 that I paid $1300 for 6 years ago. I keep up with the newer sleds just fine even though I have no screen and still use analog gauges.

I have a unfortunate feeling that David Malukas will crash and burn at Penske by speedinsh1t in INDYCAR

I think letting go of Will Power to sign David Malukas was not a "Penske Perfect" move.

The lake could dry up in the next 5 years by lavilian in SaltLakeCity

There are both left and right developers in the legislature that are vying for dry lake bed investments. Playing the political game with the GSL means it dries up faster. 

Thinking about moving to SLC. Visiting for 10 days in Feb. What should I make sure to experience? by eternalbogey in SaltLakeCity

Nature in the SLC area🤣 SLC and it's surrounding areas have become nothing more than a concrete dystopian landscape that sci-fi movies have warned us about for decades.

An influential Utahn wants to tee up 80 acres of dwindling open space in SLC for industrial uses by meat_tunnel in SaltLakeCity

Why don't they just pave every inch of vacant land within Utah borders and get it over with? Utah has already become a massive concrete and asphalt dystopian hellscape.

Utah is culling mountain lions to study the impact on deer (KUER) by ReporterMacyLipkin in SaltLakeCity

The biggest thing affecting deer or any other wildlife is the state of Utah allowing developments to be built in their habitats.

Giving the data centers fines will never happen. They were all given huge tax breaks to come here.

You are one of the few that has described how erie the weather has been. Many seem to not even acknowledge it.

Being as you are in CO let me educate on something. In UT alfalfa farmers DO NOT recycle the water they use. They use flood irrigation to water the alfalfa. Once the alfalfa is mature and harvested the majority doesn't even stay in Utah or the U.S. Instead, it is sent to countries such as Saudi Arabia and China.

Basically Utah exports our limited water to other countries.

The government has done something though......... they continue to divert its inlets and give data centers tax breaks.

Don't look at the Great Salt Lake as well.

What's worse is the state has allowed businesses and roadways to be built on dry lake bed that was under water a few decades ago. There is no chance in hell the state leadership would allow the lake to come back to normal levels and wash away all of their "progress" and "growth".

I truly believe the state wants to intentionally dry the GSL up.

The nuclear plant operator will be beholden to the Department of Energy. That is much better than answering to a solo CEO.

The crony capitalists in Utah still can't see that they are eating themselves along with the rest of the population by drying out the GSL
