While New Yorkers and San Franciscans are watching The Six Million Dollar Man, what are the natives of such Alaskan outposts as Kipnuk and Mekoryuk doing? They too are watching The Six Million Dollar Man. This is one of the preliminary findings of the state-funded $1.5 million experiment that for seven months has been bringing nine hours of TV a day to 23 rural Alaskan villages via satellite...

...biggest problem looming over the project is what to do with the oil when it begins pouring into storage tanks at the Alaskan port of Valdez. The first tankers loaded with the oil are due to be on their way to Long Beach, Calif., by the end of August. About 30% of the oil is to be transshipped to refineries on the West Coast. Standard Oil Co. of Ohio (Sohio), which is owned by British Petroleum, wants to pump the rest of the oil, which is not needed in the Pacific Coast area, to refineries in Texas through an existing...

Opponents of the Long Beach plan, including California Governor Jerry Brown, say the pipeline that Sohio wants to use is needed to bring in natural gas from Mexico. They also protest that the use of Long Beach as a transfer terminal for Alaskan oil would add to the already bad air and water pollution problem in the Los Angeles basin. Although no refining will take place in the area, critics of the Long Beach plan say that just shipping the oil through there will add to pollution: tankers continually emit fumes, sometimes spill oil, and will inevitably have accidents...

Almost totally unnoticed amid the debate over Alaskan oil and the Administration's energy program has been some encouraging news. Spurred on by the prospect of higher prices, oilmen have sharply stepped up the pace of exploration in the Lower 48 states. New wells are being sunk at the highest rate in nearly two decades. More than 2,000 drilling rigs-meaning just about every one available-are now boring for gas and oil on shore, v. an average of only 975 six years...

Even if the objections could be overcome, there would still be an oil overflow until one or another of the schemes could go into effect. As a temporary, though unlikely, patch, it has been suggested that the U.S. export Alaskan crude to Japan, swapping it for part of Japan's supply of oil from the Middle East. But that would require presidential approval and congressional concurrence. The President's decision is expected this week or next. The only other immediate way to use all the oil would be to ship it by tanker through the Panama Canal...
