(Salt Lake City, UT) — Utah lawmakers are considering several ideas to help the shrinking Great Salt Lake, including one that would create a pipeline to bring seawater to the lake. A legislative commission decided yesterday to study the idea of building a pipeline that would stretch from Utah to the Pacific Ocean. Lawmakers said they were very serious about studying the idea, though building such a pipeline faces regulatory hurdles and could cost billions of dollars. Critics of the idea said the state should focus on water conservation measures rather than expensive pipe dreams.
