Lawmakers want more transparency on data center projects built on public land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A group of Democratic lawmakers sent Interior Secretary Doug Burgum a list of questions raising concerns about the potential proliferation of data centers on public lands. Lawmakers are asking for more transparency about potential projects and guarantees that communities will be allowed to have input on any proposals. The push comes amid media reports that data center developers are eyeing Bureau of Land Management lands for sites in at least six western states. The lawmakers' letter raises conc
Utah has some of the highest gas and diesel prices in the nation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Utah and other states across the Mountain West are seeing some of the highest gas prices in the nation. As of Thursday, diesel hit another all-time high nationally at $6.40 per gallon, according to AAA. The average national price for a gallon of regular gas was $4.44.

Read excerpt
With less than 30 days left, conservation groups are requesting the government extend the public comment period for its proposal to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Earthjustice filed the request on behalf of several environmental groups, including the Wilderness Society, the Sierra Club, and others. The nonprofit says rescinding the landmark rule affects 45 million acres of national forest land — largely in the West — across 38 states. Aaron Bloom, a senior attorney with Earthj
