SOFT SELL, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
STATEMENT
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and its public hearings were
completed long ago. There is no independent monitoring of the HAARP project or of
the related University experiments. With the completion of the EIS process, the
hurdle of "oversight" is over for the HAARP players, and nobody is looking over
their shoulders. They now work without significant public scrutiny.
This type of project, is very different from projects which are monitored
continually by independent inspectors with differing program goals than military and
university scientists. The ionosphere belongs to the world. The immediate area
belongs to Americans/Alaskans, who should be monitoring HAARP independently
of its personnel.
The authors of this book believe that the HAARP activity should be
monitored by a panel of multidisciplinary scientists, without conflicts of interest,
who continually review the work under the oversight of the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation. Moreover, laws should be passed to put enforcement
teeth into the monitoring. This could be done by giving the oversight committee the
power to freeze all state appropriations to the University if the project presents
significant dangers not disclosed by the military or University. This could halt the
project if the University were otherwise unwilling to follow the recommendations of
the oversight committee. In addition, as long as the local power generating company
was controlled and operated as a member-owned cooperative with an elected Board of
Directors, they could literally unplug HAARP if it eventually connects to the regional
power grid. This could temporarily stop the project while the federal government
argues in the courts about its power demand requirements.
The only real way to stop this project, and others like it though, is through
international pressure. These military projects should have some international
watchdog component, considering the fact that these programs could negatively
impact other countries who are not declared enemies of the United States. What are the
safeguards for any country tampering with atmospheric systems which we all rely on
for life?
The environmental review process is supposed to explore all risks and
impacts in a given project. It was the omission of significant international
community review which led to disputes over thermonuclear testing, dumping waste
into the open seas and other inter-national environmental problems. It is arrogant,
and inexcusable, for any country to think they can create upper atmospheric energy
litter without full disclosure and consent from the other countries which may, pay the
price for these programs in the end.
