| Description/Abstract | Mr.^Bagge cites and reviews the case of the snail darter halting the construction of a nearly-finished $200 million dam on the Little Tennessee River.^Likewise, the Furbish Lousewort (a wild snapdragon) killed the Dickey-Lincoln project in Maine.^He says the new class of environmentalists have raised their crusading to a professional level, because they have gained positions of power in government agencies.^Citing his view that the coal industry wants power plants to convert to coal as rapidly as possible, the author thinks encouraging methods exist, moreso than compulsion.^Easing air-quality requirements and Federal and tax incentives are mentioned.^Four possible actions that might be used by members of the electric power industry to impact on the executive and legislative branches in Washington are discussed briefly.^In conclusion, the author thinks the turning point may be an issue of saccharin--nothing to do with the environment.^He believes the American populace will decide that they don`t need laws and regulations to tell them whether saccharin is dangerous for consumption--it is needed for diet-conscious Americans.^(MCW) |
