Bartlett Charges Federal Neglect Keeps
Alaska’s Giant Power Potential Asleep
SEATTLE, UP> — Alaska’s power
potential lies like a hibernating
giant, kept asleep through federal
neglect, while neighboring Russia
is fast catching up with the U. S.
in electrical production^ Senator
Bob Bartlett said yesterday.
Less than one per cent of Alas
ka’s gigantic hydroelectric power
potential of more than 50 billion
kilowatts a year has been devel
! oped, Bartlett said in a speech
I prepared for delivery at the open
| ing session of the American Public
Power Association.
“Uncle Sam, as Alaska’s keeper
during our 92 years as a territory,
did not live up to his responsibili
ties — not only in power develop
ment, but in the whole gamut of
governmental activities.”
Whenever possible, local politi
cal subdivisions and consumer
groups should develop power pro
jects, he said.
“When and where local govern
ment cannot handle the needed
power jobs, we should ask the
federal government to tackle
them.”
Bartlett said budget balancing
by applying a “no new starts”
policy to both construction and
planning was “sheer folly.” He
said productive capital investment
should not be considered part of
the public debt but should be car
ried in a separate capital budget.
As a result of what he called
federal neglect, Bartlett said, mil
itary services now are facing “tre
mendous extra expense for make

shift power” to serve Alaska mis
sile detection systems.
Bartlett said Army engineers
have estimated .Alaska’s potential
as 12 million kilowatts of prime
power, “only a little less than the
installed capacities of all the fed
eral hydroelectric plants in the
United States.”
The senator described the Ram
part Canyon project, on the Yukon
River northwest of Fairbanks, as
the most promising of th^ Alaska
sites studied thus far. He said it
would cost at least one billion
dollars and take 13 years or more
to build but would offer an in
stalled capacity of five million
kilowatts.
Bartlett said three other sites
offer prime power of more than
one million kilowatts each. Two
of them, Kaltag and Woodchopper,
lie in the same basin as Rampart.
The fourth is Wood Canyon on
the Copper River. In addition to
these, Bartlett continued, Army
Engineers found 16 other sites of
lesser potential.
Because of the time required to
develop Rampart and other large
projects, Bartlett said a short
range program is, needed in the
interim. He suggested pushing
such smaller projects as Devil
Canyon on the Susitna River and
Bradley Lake in the Cook Inlet
area “so we can wire Alaska for
orderly and rapid growth.”
Potential demand', the senator
said, justifies ambitious Alaska
power projects.
“Alaska is a public power
state,” he said, “and I hope will
remain so. Low cost power, in my
opinion, can- pull our state to
prosperity — and to a position
from which we can serve the na
tion without being an economic
burden of any sort.”
