Utah's Energy Sector
By Henry Pernichele, Senior Economist— The modern economy is built on energy. From the electricity that keeps lights on to the gasoline in cars, a plentiful and consistent supply of energy is what enables our modern economy to operate day in and day out. This is especially true in Utah, as its population and economy continues to grow every year after year and with it, its energy demands. With the goal to substantially increase Utah's energy production over the next ten years, this article examines the industries that create Utah's energy, where they are and why they are so significant to employment, wages, and overall economic growth.
