The Energy Non-Crisis

There is as much crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska as there is in Saudi Arabia. The governor of Alaska stated on the Bill Maher TV show, “Real Time,” on March 18 2005, “There is potentially enough crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska to supply the entire united States of America for 200 years.”~Lindsey Williams

Peak oil is a a lie; it is an idea perpetrated by powerful institutions, for the purpose of deceiving the public. If only the U.S. government would allow crude to flow out of the Northern Slope, gasoline at the gas pump could be less than 1.50 a gallon, in less than one year.

The Energy Non-Crisis by Lindsey Williams

There is no true energy crisis. There never has been an energy crisis . . . except as it has been produced by the Federal government for the purpose of controlling the American people. That’s a rather dramatic statement. to make, isn’t it? But you see, at one time I too thought there was an energy crisis. After all, that was what I had been told by the news media and by the Federal government. I thought we were running out of crude oil and natural gas. Then I heard, I saw, and I experienced what I am about to write. I soon came to realize that there is no energy crisis. There is no need for America to go cold or for gas to be rationed. We shall verify these statements as we provide the facts for you. You might be surprised to find that we will also show why the price of gas will remain high, and in fact will go higher than it is now.

You’ve read about the controversy. You’ve heard the statements, the claims, the counterclaims. You’ve read about the problems of environmental protection, such as the need to protect birds whose species are becoming extinct. What you haven’t heard is that $2 million dollars was spent to go around the nest of one species. On your property, you’d have moved the nest—not so on the Alaska Pipeline. Not true? Questionable? We’ll give you the facts.

You’ve read about the objections of the native Alaskans whose territory is being exploited by those giant corporations that can never be satisfied. You’ve heard about the excessive profits made by the oil companies. But you haven’t heard about the incredible regulations that forced the costs of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline up from a projected $2 billion dollars to beyond $12 billion dollars. We’ll tell you more about that.

I became convinced of the fact that there is no energy crisis when Senator Hugh Chance visited me on the Pipeline. As well as being a former Senator of the State of Colorado, he is also an outstanding Christian gentleman. He came to the Pipeline at my invitation, to speak in the work camps for which I was re sponsible as Chaplain, on the northern sector of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline.

While I was there I arranged for him to have a tour of the Prudhoe Bay facility. Senator Chance was shown everything he wanted to see, and he was told everything he wanted to know. The Senator was given information by a number of highly-placed responsible executives with Atlantic Richfield, and these were cooperative with him at all times. He especially gained information from one particular official whom we shall call Mr. X, because of the obvious need to protect his anonymity.

After Senator Chance had talked at length with Mr. X, we came back to my dormitory room at Pump Station No. 1 and sat down. Senator Chance said to me, “Lindsey, I can hardly believe what I have seen and heard today.”

I waited to see what it was that was so startling. Remember, as yet I had no inkling that there was, in fact, no true energy crisis.

Senator Chance was very serious. He was obviously disturbed. He looked up at me as he said, “Lindsey, I was in the Senate of the State of Colorado when the Federal briefers came to inform us as to why there is an energy crisis. Lindsey, what I have heard and seen today, compared with what I was told in the Senate of the State of Colorado, makes me realize that almost everything I was told by those Federal briefers was a downright lie!”

At that point Senator Chance asked if I could arrange for another interview with Mr. X on the following day. I did arrange for that interview, and the Senator and Mr. X sat in Mr. X’s office. I was allowed to be present, as Senator Hugh Chance asked question after question after question.

Senator Chance’s first question was, “Mr. X, how much crude oil is there under the North Slope of Alaska, in your estimation?”

Mr. X answered, “In my estimation, from the seismographic work and the drillings we have already done, I am convinced that there is as much oil under the North Slope of Alaska as there is in all of Saudi Arabia.”

Senator Hugh Chance’s next question was perhaps an obvious one. “Why isn’t this oil being produced, if there is an oil crisis?” He went on to point out that private enterprise has always come to the rescue of the American people when there have been times of need.

Mr. X then made the startling observation that the Federal government and the State government of Alaska had allowed only one pool of oil on the North Slope of Alaska to be developed.
Senator Chance then asked, “Mr. X, do you think that there are numerous pools of oil under the North Slope of Alaska?”

Mr. X replied, “Senator Chance, the government has allowed us to develop only one 100-square-mile area of this vast North Slope. There are many, many 100-square-mile areas under the North Slope of Alaska which contain oil. There are many pools of oil under the North Slope of Alaska.”

The Senator then asked, “Mr. X, what do you think the Federal government is out to do-what do you really think the government has as its ultimate goal in this business?”

Mr. X’s answer was highly controversial in its implications. He stated, “I personally believe that the Federal government is out to declare American Telephone and Telegraph a monopoly. In so doing they will be able to divide the company and to break the back of the largest private enterprise on the face of the earth. Secondly, they want to nationalize the oil companies. I believe that these two objectives merge.” As Mr. X continued to elaborate his point of view, it became clear that the objectives, as he saw them, were of dramatic import for the economic welfare of this country and indeed for the whole world.

Senator Chance asked one last question, “Mr. X, if what you say is true, then e by don’t you as oil companies tell the American people the truth and warn them? ”

“Senator Chance,” Mr. X replied, “we don’t dare tell the American people the truth because there are so many laws already passed and regulations on the books that if the government decided to impose them all on us and enforce them, they could put us into bankruptcy within six months.”

In light of what Mr. X stated in that conversation with Senator Chance, it would seem that the stakes are even bigger than money. They would involve power and domination—initially under the guise of government ownership and control of not only the essential commodities and services, but then progressively beyond that. We would call it socialism. Others would give it different names. In the light of Mr. X’s statements, that is the direction in which America is being led post-haste today. This book is an attempt to awaken the public to the facts before it is too late.

Mr. X is a man whose observations must be taken seriously. He was one of the numerous executives with Atlantic Richfield who was given the responsibility of developing the entire East side of the oil field at Prudhoe Bay. His credibility cannot be denied. Mr. X has developed numerous oil fields for Atlantic Richfield throughout the world and has built numerous refineries. He is an expert in this field.

So far we have given you just a few side observations. But there is more. Much more. We have a story that must be told. There are tremendously important matters involved—matters of principle and the concepts highly important to our whole way of life. They involve politics, economics, and our American way of life.

    It’s genuinely very difficult in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, thus I simply use web
