In 1973, a desperate America, starved by an OPEC embargo, began construction on a 800-mile lifeline for its insatiable oil hunger. We’ll study the technological triumph of the Alaskan oil pipeline, in Season 3, Episode 13, “ALASKAN OIL PIPELINE.”

Thank you. Love you . Love these too 😊😺❣️
Nobody cares what some senator named Gaylord has to say lol
Remember, Environmentalists care about the planet, our home, more than anyone else.
If that's not the height of arrogance than what is?
All oil companies care only about profits, profits, just like insurance companies, profits, and the good ole honest electric rip off companies
It was great uss steel in GADSDEN ALABAMA was wide open then pipe stacked every where there good jobs good pay good times !! NOW IN 2022 IT REDUCED TO NOTHING BUT A 150 ACRES OF CEMENT SLAB COKE PILES AND ONE OF THE OLDEST GOODYEAR PLANTS CLOSED ! Thanks to the socialist unions that milk them dry ! We need Trump!
Let's talk about how it's being destroyed by the left.
All the climate change warriors on their phones, tablets, and computers that come from oil complaining about impacting the environment…ironic…
Incredible!
THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS INSIDE U AND ALL AROUND U LIFT A STONE U WILL FIND HIM SPLIT A PEICE OF WOOD AND HE,S THERE WHAT ARE WE SILCONE DUST CLAY BLOOD WATER AND OIL WE ARE GODS TEMPLE WEAR DO U ALL THINK ALL THAT CRUDE OIL CAME FROM IN MY MIND IT COMES FROM TREE,S THE SUN LIGHTS EARTH TREE,S GROW PRODUCING CRUDE OILS WE ARE THE NATRUAL SOLUTION TO BUILDING ARE WORLD WE SHOULD REPLACE ALL THOSE TREE,S WE CUT DOWN TO BUILD HOMES AN WHAT BECAUSE THESE TREE,S REFILL OIL FEILDS THE CRUDE OILS THAT HAVE HELPED MAKE LIVING IN THE 1ST HEAVEN A HEALTHY AND HAPPY PLACE EVERYONE IS PART OF THIS EARTH EVERYONE COUNTS FREE ENERGYS ARE NOT FREE IT TAKES FAMILYS GOD COUNTRYS 1ST TO BUILD ARE WORLD SO GOD BLESS U GOD KEEP U GOD PROTECT U AND BRING U ALL GREAT WEALTH AND HAPPYNESS FROM ARE SAVIOR THE MOST HIGH GOD AND HIS CHOSEN SON JESUS CHRIST THE LAMB OF GOD THE SON OF MAN AMEN
I lived in the Mat – Su Valley in the 90s…6 years. I remember the dividend checks well✌️
We need American oil production back online. Biden has crippled us in one single stroke. Let alone all the other blunders that his administration has caused. Now California mandates that by 2030 all cars must be Electric. They can't even keep our power on when it's hot out. Biden, Newsome and all of these other lunatic Libs. need to be voted out people!!!
While the pipeline is fascinating, oil companies are technically the enemy of humanity's environment, and they have known about the damage they do to the environment for over sixty years.
Can one really call the Exon Valdez tanker spill a "natural disaster" along side of earthquakes?
I don't get what they would be so against a pipeline for one way or another there gonna extract the oil and the benefits of pipeline your not trucking it in and out on a daily basis or by train the pipeline construction does disturb the wildlife while under construction yeah but that's only temporary once it's finished it's stationary and it does it's thing without crews present daily for years and years to come so far as a lasting effect of disturbing Wild life it won't affect anything that I can think of far as distribution of the crude goes it's stationary and pretty quiet in doing so … so a pipe line is the only way to go if you ask me for long term use
Don't worry Biden will shut it down
Really disappointed that you didn’t spend at least a little time on the people on the line.
As I see it, the environmentalist were wrong, that why were in trouble! The pipeline was elevated o cari b
You know what I think's funny cuz you guys start this out by saying 1973 and oil shortage that was 49 years ago and we are still using oil so there was no oil shortage in 1973 because we still have oil 50 years later and have been using it the entire time what it was a scam for the rich to try to make more money just like they do nowadays that's what we need to look at that's what we need to realize there has never been any oil shortages on this planet to date and it is September of 2022
Saying that America did not have enough oil to supply its own needs back then is a lie because our needs nowadays are far greater and we have enough oil to supply our own needs now not only that but we have enough to export Trump was doing it just a few years ago quit lying quit lying quit lying
My father opened an oil field in Prudhoe Bay when he worked for ARCO.
A similar thing is happening in 2022, but Let's Go Brandon.
Great presentation.
I believe these modern Marvel guys way over represent the environmental bureaucrats. Two points, 1. The pipeline goes thru some incredible wasteland not really good for much else and 2. Like all deep state bureaucrats, they, the environmental bureaucrats, have a strong vested interest (their salaries, pensions, and program livelihood or power base) in over beating the drum about the evil industrialists destroying the pristine wilderness to fill their greedy pockets when in reality, the pipeline was an amazing economic shot in the arm including the Exxon Valdez oil spill with really no, I repeat no long term ill affects.
It was win, win, win for everybody and everything.
The Russian Government leaders were probably banging their heads against the wall, after they realized their screwup.😂
Talked to guys working on the pipeline. Said they stole everything they could. One guy said a bear wondered into the pipe and said im not paid to get him out. Some parts were so blocked up with unknown stuff they just put the pipe on the surface. But Prudo Bay made more money than you can count.
So Gaylord Nelson is one of the traitor that sold out America created a false movement out of Earth Day for the UN and environmental extremist! All you have to know that these idiots are scamming the public is look up the founder of Greenpeace who spoken out against his own group he found it due to the fact that they're not even scientists like him. You can find his interview on the podcast called strange planet from Canada and YouTube.
What for some Russian or Russian sympathizer to blow up some portion of the pipeline.
Not so modern marvels (lol -1990's).
So this is where the ExxonMobil Valdez gets its name
The same people that were against the pipeline are the same ones against nuclear power generation. Which has ZERO carbon emissions. They live in a fantasy world where if they had their way we'd be living like in the stone age. I remember all of their wild crazy lies about the entire state being ruined when the pipeline 'inevitably' breaks open, and how the migrating wildlife wouldn't be able to travel because it would block their way. The radicals don't care how much they lie and distort because for them the ends justify the means. The truth is they hate America and that is their reasoning, if it was anything else wouldn't they be going after the worlds biggest polluter- China?
I guess Biden forgot those 70s and America's oil dependency on other countries.
The saddest thing that I gathered from this video was that they used Japanese steel to produce the pipe line ..
My favorite narrator by far.
You really get to appreciate high definition after going back to watch older 4:3 tv shows. These old modern marvels episodes should be remastered in HD! Of course it wouldn’t be as good compared to the resolution of a show originally recorded in HD, but it’d be much better than the old 4:3 480i format. Especially with todays advanced AI upscaling tech.
