Strip away the dueling spreadsheets and the question is simple: who pays when a monopoly utility drags its feet?

Utah families are constantly told to conserve and tighten their belts, while the company serving them lets billions in federal savings lapse and bets the future on gas and an unproven nuclear demonstration.

As a government-sanctioned monopoly, PacifiCorp's customers don't get to shop elsewhere. That's exactly why the burden should be on the utility to prove it chased every affordable option, not on ratepayers to absorb the cost of a plan that quietly forecloses the cheapest ones.

Federal attention on the Great Salt Lake is genuinely good news, but $10 million against a $1 billion ask is a down payment, not a rescue. The lake doesn't operate on the timeline of a multi-year funding fight or an election-year talking point. Toxic dust, collapsing ecosystems, and threats to public health are happening now.

Federal dollars are welcome, but they can't become an excuse for state leaders to ease off the hard conservation choices that actually determine whether water reaches the lake. Stewardship means following through, not just securing a headline.

A high court is supposed to be the place where power meets a limit. So it matters that Utah’s was expanded by the very lawmakers it kept ruling against, and is now being filled, seat after seat, by a single governor.
The confirmation hearings are open to the public at the Utah State Capitol. Showing up on June 12 or 15, in person or by watching the livestream, signals that Utahns are paying attention to how these seats get filled.

A 40,000-acre complex with its own gas plant, sited in a county that holds more of the Great Salt Lake than any other, deserves more than two unannounced briefings and a county lawyer ruling the people don't get a say. Utahns shouldn't have to sue their own government just to be heard on a project this big. The right to refer decisions to voters exists precisely so power stays accountable to the communities that have to live with the consequences.
