Utah State Rock:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Utah designated coal as the official state "rock" in 1991 (coal is not actually a rock, but a fossil fuel). Coal is found in 17 of Utah's 29 counties. More than half of the electricity used in Utah is generated by coal burning facilities (something we hope Utah will find a way to change to help reduce global warming). |
