Oregon's Rivers, Wyoming Public Lands, Solar Pow

As federal authorities revise management plans for public lands in southwestern Wyoming, conservationists want to make sure they protect the area's natural and historic values. With key Oregon rivers lacking protection, a bill in Congress would designate many of them as Wild and Scenic - more mileage of such rivers than in any other state. Farmers in the Midwest are adopting solar power, covering their energy needs and increasing their bottom lines.
