One of the questions on the poll
I distributed several weeks ago
asked for a choice between the
pollution crisis and the energy
crisis.
There was some comment
about that question -to the effect
that both are important, and a
person should not have to choose
between them.
No one would quarrel that both
our energy problems and our
pollution problems are important
and both must be solved. The
question, however, is really one
of priorities. How do we go about
stopping the deterioration of our
environment without making
unreasonable demands on our
energy resources, and how do we
meet our increasing energy
needs without contributing
further to the pollution crisis?
This matter of priorities is
being raised right now with
regard to automobile emission
standards. Congress, in making
its determination of what
pollution standards should be for
cars, considered only the en
vironmental factors. But now, it
is becoming more and more
apparent that anti-pollution
devices are causing far greater
fuel consumption.
Environmentalists make the
very legitimate point that if
Americans would settle for
smaller, lighter cars, the fuel
consumption problem would not
be so great. But even so, smaller
cars would be getting better
mileage, too, if they did not have
the anti-pollution devices at
tached to their engines.
Does this mean that we
backtrack on our commitment to
take the automobile out of the
pollution problem? Certainly not.
What it does mean though is that
there is an interrelationship
between pollution and energy
that is going to have to be taken
into account in future decision
making.
This interrelationship is a two
edged sword. Nuclear power
plants are said to be one good
way to supply more electricity.
But our need for this additional
energy must be evaluated along
side the fact that nuclear plants
have some environmental

hazards connected with them.
For instance, the water used in
the process becomes so hot - the
term for it is superheated - that it
cannot be cooled in a con
ventional way without en
dangering plant and animal life
in and around the stream where*
the plant is located.
There seems to be a growing
concern about the energy crisis,
and it will grow faster if we begin
to experience the predicted
gasoline shortages and-or
electrical brownouts. The con
cern is likely to bring with it calls
for abandoning environmental
goats to get more energy quickly
But the energy crisis like the
pollution crisis is not something
that can be met with overnight
solutions. Time will be needed to
develop a balanced energy
program, and there is no reason
why that program cannot also be
designed in such a way that our
environment is protected.
However, meeting these two
goals is going to demand com
promises unsatisfactory to both
extremes. Maybe the best in

With our completely covered lots and a sun roof
with an open peak, ram water does not enter the bay
area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is
obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed
and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be
scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system.
By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is
not polluted
Yes, since your urban neighbors and government
fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help
you build a system that will put you ahead on the
pollution problem.
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in
less bacteria action and fewer odors.
