Hunting and fishing regulations provide a good example of how we should manage our natural resources, and it's time that the oil and gas industry takes a cue from our responsible practices.

Northern Nevada is famous for its beautiful outdoors, including Lake Tahoe and an abundance of camping sites and trails to explore. But the outdoor recreation that is a cultural staple for the region may be cut short by another summer tradition: wildfire season.

Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen introduced legislation Tuesday that would require the federal government to increase fees for companies extracting oil and gas on public land.

We are lucky here in Nevada that we have so much public land available to us for all sorts of recreational activities.
