The 104-megawatt Utah Red Hills Renewable Park, the state's first large utility-scale solar farm, goes on-line this month. Its 340,700 panels, installed on 632 acres west of Parowan, will generate enough electricity to power 18,500 homes.

We need to act responsibly now and totally stop planning and building the inland port that will naturally be a major polluting project. Salt Lake City and West Valley City residents should not suffer the resulting health problems for the benefit of private developers and merchandise distributors.
