- The United States has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia
but this happy though shocking information has been covered up for years.
-
- The wells have been drilled, it's merely a matter of
turning on the faucets to supply America's needs for 200 years.
-
- These astounding revelations have been con firmed by
a 30-year veteran oil executive with leukemia who has decided to speak
out.
-
- In 1980, Lindsey Williams wrote a book, The Energy Non-Crisis,
based upon his eye witness accounts during the construction of the Trans-Alaska
pipeline. As a chaplain assigned to executive status and the advisory board
of Atlantic Richfield & Co. (ARCO), he was privy to detailed information.
-
- "All of our energy problems could have been solved
in the '70s with the huge discovery of oil under Gull Island, Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska," Williams said. "There is more pure grade oil there than
in all of Sau di Arabia. Gull Island contains as much oil and natural gas
as Americans could use in 200 years."
-
- Oddly though, immediately after this massive discovery,
the federal government ordered the rigs to be capped and oil production
shut down.
-
- Developing Alaskan oil would make the United States completely
independent of oil imports, Williams said in his book.
-
- Why is the government covering up such good news? Why
does it want to be dependent on imported oil? Do international financiers
who are heavily invested in the oil industry want to keep the supply limited
and prices up?
-
- Will the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee,
chaired by Sen. Frank Murkowski (R-Alaska), investigate what could be a
criminal cover-up? Will the appropriate House committees in quire? Or the
Justice Department? Since the cover-up has extended through four presidential
administrations, only public outrage can force action.
-
- "Everything you hear on the evening news and out
of Washington is garbage," said Jim Lawler, an oil production manager
with ARCO. "Eight wells have already been drilled in the areas environmentalists
are claiming we must not go in. We have already been in and out. There
was no damage done. All we need to do is start production."
-
- The mainstream media is mind-molding public opinion by
repeatedly showing running caribou, touting environmentalists' claims that
the caribou and other endangered species and habitats would be destroyed.
-
- "The Alaska Fish and Game Depart ment just did a
study on the por cupine car i bou in Prudhoe Bay. The size of the herds
has increased since 1969 by 35 percent. The pipeline area is a protected
designation and the caribou have figured this out. They have migrated into
this area for protection," Lawler said.
-
- The Alaskan pipeline was built in 1977 and runs from
Prudhoe Bay to the southern shores of Alaska in Valdez.
-
- Lawler maintains that several things can be done to reduce
American energy bills.
-
- The Alaskan pipeline can be permitted to run at full
capacity. In addition, the Department of Energy can allow a new pipeline
to be built across Canada and con nected to the existing system in the
United States.
-
- Alaska can also ship oil to the West Coast immediately.
Alaskan oil is of such high grade and low sulfur content that it can be
utilized at any refinery, without damage to the environment.
-
- "Currently, an estimated 4,000 barrels a day are
liquefied at Prudhoe Bay, but government regulation controls that limit,"
added Lawler.
-
- Liquefying is the process by which oil sludge brought
from the ground is pro cessed to be transported.
-
- Lawler said the existing Alaskan pipe line was built
to hold another four-foot diameter pipe above it, which could be used for
natural gas. However, he said it "is not ne cessary because the Alaskan
pipe line has never been permitted to run at full capacity."
-
- This same situation can be multiplied in Wyoming, Texas
and other oil-productive areas across the country. The government has imposed
strict orders not to produce.
-
- And in a real emergency, Lawler contends hydrogen plants
can sprout up in less than six months with just a nuclear reactor placed
at sea.
-
- "One nuclear reactor can power all of Los Angeles,"
Lawler said.
-
- Natural gas is readily available; Prudhoe Bay has 48
747-jet engines pumping one billion cubic feet of natural gas back into
the ground 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They have nowhere else to put
the natural gas.
