What to do with the surplus? Half a dozen plans have been proposed. One is to land the crude at Long Beach, Calif., and pump it into Sohio's idle California-Texas gas pipeline, which would feed pipeline systems in the energy-short Midwest. Environmentalists object that vapors from unloading tankers would further foul California...
...consumer will probably wind up paying the same price as for imported oil, now $13.50 per bbl. If the pipeline tariff goes down, the companies that own the line can make up most of the difference by paying their producing subsidiaries a higher price at the wellhead to pump the oil out of the North Slope. And their arrangement with the state declares that the higher the price at the wellhead, the higher the revenue payments to Alaska...
...first rocket-pressurized with a bicycle pump and launched from a local dump-failed to fly. Some of his later models flew only too well, taking off from sites in Germany and occupied Holland to impact on London with horrifying effect. But if Wernher von Braun, who died of cancer last week at 65, is remembered by future generations, it will probably be for his postwar achievements. As one of the most valuable war trophies carried home by the U.S., he headed the team that developed the Jupiter C rocket that put the U.S. into the space race by launching...
After the election, when it looked as if Carter and Burns were on a collision course over whether to stimulate the economy, there was speculation that Burns would try to thwart any presidential attempt at fiscal pump priming by tightening up sharply on credit. In recent weeks the Federal Reserve has indeed begun raising short-term interest rates-to try to rein in what it considers an overly rapid growth in the money supply now that inflation is bumping back up to double-digit levels. The Federal Reserve's move toward tighter credit, while welcomed by businessmen who share...
...only alternatives have been highly combustible gases that are unsuited to certain products, including hair sprays. Fluorocarbons, for all their drawbacks, are not combustible; neither is the butane-water mix in the Aquasol system. Anticipating the federal fluorocarbon ban, Gillette and some other manufacturers last year began switching to pump-action containers for their products, but these do not emit the fine, even spray of Abplanalp's aerosol nozzles. If Aquasol passes market tests and proves as popular as aerosol, the nation's medicine cabinets could remain stocked with spray cans a long time into the future...
