Everywhere is wildlife habitat, everywhere is a watershed. . .everywhere has its own preciousness to someone or something. Seems to me that the only real responsible act here is to be frugal with the resource as possible, so that there is less incentive to drill every potential pocket of oil and gas.

It does not take into account risks to the environment. For instance, should there be these drilling rigs in the Salt Lake at all? The lake is home to enormous numbers of birds who depend on this resource. It's an irresponsible place to drill.
