Besides that, oceans of unpumped oil are known to exist in the U.S. Only about a third of the oil in a well is ever brought to the surface by present methods-primarily, letting it gush out under its own pressure. The remaining two-thirds is usually written off as "unrecoverable." Sophisticated secondary and tertiary recovery methods exist to get that oil out: injecting high-pressure steam or liquid chemical solvents to dissolve the crude from tiny fissures in the rock. Some drilling experts calculate that the recovery rate could be increased to 60%, which would almost double U.S. recoverable...
...renamed Alon Moreh), Ofra and Ma'ale Adumim have had a special -and somewhat awkward-status since their founding. They were built not as part of the Labor government's plan to provide for the security of Israel's borders but by a zealous organization called Gush Emunim (Group of the Faithful). It believes that Jews have the right to settle in any part of the West Bank, since this land was included in ancient Judea and Samaria...
...decision by the Begin government to recognize the three settlements officially makes them eligible for subsidies and for such services as schools and bus transportation. But Begin's support for the communities last week also whetted Gush Emunim's desire to expand Jewish presence in the territories. The organization has recruited families to establish twelve more settlements on the West Bank, and threatens demonstrations unless the government authorizes them by September. Although Begin will probably impose a moratorium on new settlements until the Geneva Conference reconvenes, he pointedly told newsmen last week that there was no government freeze...
...Bank as a "liberated" (rather than "occupied") territory, it is likely that he will approve of more Israeli settlements there if he becomes Premier. Shortly after Likud won last month's election, Begin made a ceremonial visit to Kaddum, a West Bank development sponsored by nationalist zealots of Gush Emunim (group of the faithful) that had never been approved by the Labor government. The devoutly religious members of Gush Emunim, most of whom supported Likud in the election, believe that all of ancient Samaria and Judea (meaning the entire West Bank) is part of Eretz Israel, and they intend...
...Gush Emunim pioneers, Kaddum is only the beginning: eventually they hope to build a new Jewish city in the middle of ancient Samaria. More small communities like Kaddum are in the planning stage. "We are preparing for ten new settlements in the next six months," says Yosef Arziel, a leader of the movement. Another Gush Emunim spokesman, Chanan Porot, insists that the West Bank is big enough to support both Jews and Arabs. But, he adds, "the policy toward the Arabs should be changed. Either they must accept full Israeli citizenship with all rights and duties or leave the country...
