Description
Summary:This report is a critique of the Federal Power Commission's recommendation to the President. The critique concurs with the FPC conclusions that each of the three pending proposals will have some adverse environmental impacts. However, if the Alaska gas was allocated to maximize air quality benefits, the construction of a gas transportation system could be environmentally preferable from the standpoint of public health. The Arctic Gas route has the greatest potential for causing adverse environmental impacts. (DLC)
