A group of senators from the West Coast claimed on Thursday that the East Coast's heavy smoke problems from Canadian wildfires are bringing attention to a problem their states already face.
Sen. Maria Cantwell told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that fire problems have already raged on the West Coast for decades, but the problems on the East Coast are waking the country up to what her state has already seen.“I think America is waking up, at least on the East Coast, to this problem,” Cantwell said during the committee's hearing on Thursday. “We certainly have known all about it on the West Coast for some time now.
Sen. Mike Lee shared a picture of an August day in downtown Salt Lake City that saw the city covered in a layer of smoke the senator claimed was from fires in California. “For those of you who live on the East Coast, welcome to our air in the West,” Risch said. “This is common. I don’t remember a summer in Boise when we haven’t had smoke. Sometimes, it’s much worse than others. We’ve had some summers that were really catastrophic in this regard. But this is what we live with, and this is just the way it is."
