AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Wildfire risk, quantified: A new UC Davis study says prescribed burns and mechanical forest thinning over six years prevented 2.7 million tons of CO2, nearly 60 premature deaths, and $2.8 billion in damages across the West—while also cutting fine particle pollution by 25,000+ tons. Utah energy politics: Utah’s Senate has moved California’s “Plug And Play Solar” bill forward, aiming to help renters and homeowners lower power bills with portable solar. Data center fight heats up in Utah: In Box Elder County, regulators say Project Stratos hasn’t even started its air-quality process yet, including a year of background monitoring—while critics argue state standards may not protect public health enough. Public lands leadership: The U.S. Senate confirmed Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management, a decision conservationists oppose over his past stance on selling public lands. Local road work amid legal pressure: Garfield County is chip-sealing the first 10 miles of Hole-in-the-Rock Road as visitation rises, even as a court fight continues.
