The Salt Lake Tribune ran an editorial today about the Moab tailings pile that could have been written by the most partisan Green Party rep you could imagine. It's as if the editorial page folks haven't bothered reading their own paper's news coverage over the years. The Tribune makes it sound like the dastardly Bush administration is the only force behind options that don't involve moving the massive pile. nuclear.com recalls one official of a town eyed as likely candidate to receive the tailings and contaminated dirt: "If Salt Lake would take it, we would ship it." The Tribune reported that the hearing room erupted with applause at that statement. [Ref: February 9, 2003 issue, article by Judy Fahys on p. C3]
