What global warming?
The Tribune editorial board showed its usual liberal bias in the editorial complaining about the effect of oil and gas drilling on tourism, hunting and the natural beauty of Utah ("Cost of drilling: Wells threaten tourism, hunting and natural beauty," Our View, May 25). I grew up in the Uintah Basin in the 1960s and '70s where we enjoyed wonderful hunting and fishing while the oil companies provided jobs harvesting needed resources.
I remember deer and antelope drinking out of the waste water drained from the mine where I worked. They didn't seem too affected by our efforts!
The editorial also made the mandatory slight against the Bush administration's hope for more drilling. Obviously, Congress has done nothing to cause fuel prices to rise, what with its stringent regulations and bureaucracy resisting any new refineries or the search for new resources. Likewise, I'm sure the editorial staff will never again hypocritically criticize fuel prices while they challenge those who try to supply the needed resource!
The Tribune supports green, global-warming hysteria, but a number of us don't buy your Al Gore-inspired baloney.
