The proposed construction of the trans Alaska pipeline and its objective have various alternatives; some are available to the Secretary of the Interior, some to the applicant, and some would involve such complex policy matters that their implementation would require Government-wide actions. The following combinations of alternative routes and transport modes are discussed: Pipeline to southern Alaska ports; Marine tanker transport from Prudhoe Bay east or west through Arctic Ocean; Pipeline to western Alaska ports; Pipeline through Canada to the vicinity of Edmonton; Rail/highway transport to southern Alaska ports. Other alternatives discussed are the employment of other sources or forms of energy, including the conversion of North Slope crude to other forms and the resultant variation in transport methods; and changes in national policy in such areas as imports, pricing, pro-rationing, and consumption.
