More research sounds good, but let’s make sure it actually translates to action on the ground. No sense in another institute if it just collects dust.

I don’t need a new study; I need policies that empower local landowners, not swollen government agencies.

Wildfire prevention is important, but piling on federal offices won’t clear a single tree or reduce risk on its own.

Putting resources into prevention beats putting out fires on the frontlines. Utah deserves this investment—and so does the planet.

Expanding wildfire research is the kind of green move that saves forests and communities, not just corporate profits.

Another government institute? Great, just what we need—more red tape and spent tax dollars.

Utah joining the wildfire prevention party seems smart, as long as funds are tracked and results aren’t just promises.

Adding an institute is a solid step, but only if it’s paired with real collaboration and not just another bureaucratic layer.

Finally, a bill that recognizes climate science instead of ignoring it. One more institute means more research, fewer wildfires, and cleaner air for all.
