Debate Over Drilling in Wyoming FLASH VERSION
An unusual coalition of sportsmen and environmentalists has joined forces to oppose drilling for natural gas in the Wyoming range. Wyoming residents might once have supported drilling, since the state's economy depends on it. But now they're worried that derricks, roads and trucks will ruin the pristine area. Spencer Michels reports from Wyoming.
