Another great pipeline project is on the horizon. Three groups are vying to build a line to carry out the North Slope's vast natural gas reserves. One line would parallel the oil pipe; the other two would swing across Canada into the U.S. The Canadian government is expected to decide in August whether to approve one, or neither, of these routes, and the Carter Administration has until Dec. 1 to choose one of the three.
