We are now in the midst of Earth Week '72 (April 17-23),
dedicated by Presidential proclamation to the "preservation
and enrichment of our natural resources." April 22, 1970 was
"Earth Day." Recognition of the need for clearing up our
environment and conserving our natural resources so we might
not be consumed by our own garbage, received such" wide
popular support, however, that President Nixon proclaimed a
longer period-Earth Week-last year and again this year.
Nevertheless.much of the early ardor and enthusiasm of the
masses for the ecology movement has waned, and rightly so.
Everyone, loves the Utopian idea of a world completely free of
pollution and technological adulteration, but now a backlash is
developing against the high costs-both economic and social
associated with getting it.
Industry, backed by scientists, technicians, economists and
government leaders, is conducting a cost-vs.-benefits analysis
to determine just how far we can go without pricing ourselves
out of business with antipollution devices and seriously
hindering our technogical advancement with rigid statutes.
Organized labor has become cool towards the ecological
movement, fearing loss of jobs from plants forced to close
because they cannot meet unrealistically high antipollution
requirements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
estimates that up to 200,000 jobs may be wiped out by harsh
antipollution enforcement over the next few years.
Last autumn, the President warned against "seeking
ecological perfection at the cost of bankrupting the very
taxpaying enterprises which pay for the social advance the
nation seeks. . ." Nebraska Sen. Carl Curtis echoed these
sentiments. This appears to be, however, just what the
environmentalists are doing as they viciously lash out at the
proposed trans-Alaska oil pipeline now being considered by
the White House.
It is in part the fault of these ecological perfectionists that
we have a dire energy crisis on our hands today (M.A. Wright,
chairman of the board of the Humble Oil Refining Co.

estimates we may be importing over half of our total
petroleum requirements before the end of the decade).
The North Slope oil find (discovered in 1968) is estimated
to contain some 10 billion barrels of oil and 25 trillion cubic
feet of natural gas. Because of oil and gas shortages in
America, it is imperative that we tap this rich source as soon as
possible.
The scare tactics and emotional appeals of the pipeline foes
simply do not hold up under close scrutiniy. Pipeline planners
have made arrangements to bury the pipe at least five feet
under stream beds so as not to disturb fish movements, and
will encase it in concrete so that waters will not be heated
excessively. Its rigid and study construction will minimize
rupture or leakage possibilities.
The line is to be routed away from all animal breeding
areas; where it crosses caribou or other animal migration lanes,
the line will be buried or overpasses and underpasses will be
built. Revegetation studies have been conducted, and plans to
clean up and plant fast-growing grasses along the route have
been announced.
All in all, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., project
constructors have taken ample precautions and to keep from
damaging the ecology, yet environmentalists and other
anti-technological primitivists persist in clamoring against its
construction in the face of the United States' dwindling
petroleum resources.
While everyone should be in favor of maintaining a balance
between nature and progress, when a much-needed facility can
be built with little environmental disruption, it should be given
the go-ahead. As with many other projects, the ecology
movement is attempting with knee-jerk reaction to condemn
anything portending the destruction of little more than a few
earthworms without analyzing the full impact of the
community, on industry, on government and on the economy.
These additional factors simply cannot be ignored. Utopia
must be discarded for reason and practicality.
