That's not a bad thought but it would cost the city billions while taking a couple thousand very high paying jobs away.

After getting the votes for that you would have to get an EPA exemption from five thousand pages of regulations (not going to happen) or come up with billions more to build them a state of the art refinery. Salt Lake City cannot afford it, not anywhere close.
 
Woke up to beautiful crisp, super cold air this morning. Silly SLCers...

Same up here. Right after snow storms the air is very clean. It's when everything stagnates for a few days, weeks or months that things get nasty.
 
The air cannot exit east over the mountains so lets bast down a section so there is one channel out of the Wasatch Front per major valley. Who knows, we might even find gold in there.

The refineries effect the air quality in both Davis and Salt lake county(around 40% of the population of utah) so I don't think SLC would have to fund it alone. I'm not really sure that we can afford not to. I think that a state bond that would be paid for by a tax on gasoline should be able to pay for it(total guess tbh). I think the more important question would be one of cost benefit. Can the same money have a greater effect on air quality if used differently?
