Seeing stars
Having just returned from camping in Canyonlands National Park, where I came eyeball-to-photon with the cosmos, I've got an opinion on energy exploration in the nearby red rock.
Don't do it.
What convinced me was a gaze upward at the Milky Way Friday night — Lordy. Anything that might impair that view is a really bad idea.
The Tribune's Sheena McFarland points out that Utah light pollution already is so bad that only two parts of the state still have pristine dark skies: Natural Bridges National Monument and Capitol Reef National Park.
On my way home, I passed the wind farm in Spanish Fork Canyon making electr
icity. While not exactly beautiful, they definitely offer more appeal than heavy trucks and derricks around the Delicate Arch, which in my opinion, is the symbol of everything wonderful about Utah.
