The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 21, 1976 7 Bowmanville Drama Work- shop is again taking to the Boards with another comedy bit "How the Other Haif Loves," written by Alan Ayckbourn. They are hard at rehearsal to be ready 'for production the end of Febru- ary at the Bowmanville High School Theatre. Adult enter- tainment, tickets are avail- able at the Bowmanville Recreation Office, or from any member of the Drama Letter To Editor Bowmanville, Ontario Dear Statesman: With all the discussions of ways to economize and the various suggestions for costly studies, here is an idea that occurred to me. • Inflation They say, "Inflation is here and we must control it." It is going to take a lot of grit to do it but perhaps we could, if we couldJust afford it. "A Commission to study and advise," perhaps, would cost a grand or two, teaching us to economize. Still, if we spread those dollars thinner, omit The Commissioners' fancy dinner where they sit and rave - think, oh think, all the money that would save! Save to build an overpass on a crowded thoroughfare or splash some paint on older buildings, looking bare? Think, oh just think t he money we could save right there! Shore-up old buildings, better built than now. If we really want to save some dough, these are just a few sugges- tions how. Sincerely, Mary A. Morris.

By Liz Armstrong Once upon a time (before oil rices were more than doub- ed b the OPEC nations) Canada and many other western nations went merrily along their way, convinced that our energ supplies were practically unlimited. No one told us that the twentieth century really be- longed tothe oil sheiks. Not so long ago, an eminent Cana- dian actually predicted that this century belonged to us, and until the increase in the grice of crude oil, most of us elieved him. The bubble burst in 1972, and with a forecast that in a few years our traditional reserves of petroleum and naturalgas would be seriously deplete , the future was no longer so full of bouyant optimism. Soon after, the campaign to conserve our now precious resources began, and encour- aged by the federal and provincial governments, many Canadians have been trying to curb lavish use of oil, electricity and natural gas ever since. Energy conscious citizens have turned the ther- mostat down a few degrees, travelled in smaller cars at slower speeds and diligently checked for dripping hot water taps. Have your collective efforts been enough?

Saturday February 7 8:00 p.m. -atthe Bowmanville High School Auditorium Admission $2.00 Per Person Efford, Director of ýResearch in Energy Conservation at the Federal Department of Energy,-Mines and Resources in Ottawa. In a speech to the Canadian Club of West Durham at Trinity Church last Wednes- day evening, Dr. Efford point- ed out that we can do much more to improve the situation. Right Behind theU.S. Second only to the United States, Canada is the most extravagant energy consumer in the world. All other indus- trialized nations, including Sweden, Britain, France and Japan, use less energy per capita than we do. Other statistics quoted by Dr. Efford helped drive home his point. "The North Ameri- can continent consumes 40 per cent of the world's energy budget, though it only sup- ports seven per cent of the world's population . . . Since 1960, the average amount of energy consumed by each Canadian has almost doubled, and unless we curb ourselves, our present energy demands will quadruple by the year 2000." Dr. Efford also pointed out that if we continue to "gobble up" energy at the current rate, we will have to double our energy producing capa- city within 12 years. In order to suppîy that amount we will have to uild an equal number of systems - dams, oil wells and generating stations - that have been constructed to date in Canada. Economists predict that this massive program will require capital investments of approx- imately $110 billion between now and 1985. According to the statistics, the average cost works out to about $20,000 per family during the next decade. Grim Prospect The optimists among us might scoff at such a dismal prospect, pointing out that petroleum and natural gas reserves in the Arctic and off the castern coastline will come to our rescue. Yet, to date, there have been no discoveries made in these regions that are large enough to e extracted and transport- ed economically. A recent oil strike in the Canadian Arctic was estimat- ed to contain perhaps a half a billion barrels of où, but that amount represents merely eight months worth of petro- leum at present levels of Canadian consumption. "In terms of natural gas," Dr. Efford continued, "We have only discovered about four and a half trillion cubic feet of gas in the Mackenzie Delta region - not enough to justify a pipeline." While it sounds impressive, that amount of gas would only satisfy our needs for three years. Perhaps the answer to our problems lies with electricity. Once again, Dr. Efford coun- tered faise ho pes. "Most of Canada's rea dily available hydro-electric sites have al- ready been developed or are in the process of beng develop- ed. Grasping at alternatives, we might stake future claims on nuclear power. Dr. Efford stated that, while helpful, this type of energy won't solve the problem. In fact, "If energy demands continue to grow at five per cent each year, and if at the beginning of this year we could install a new Pickering- size nuclear plant every four months, we would, in the year 2000 still be relying on fossil fuels forover al our total energy requirements, and we would be consuming these resources at an annual rate almost three times greater than we are in 1976." There's Hope Yet Along with the doom and gloom, Dr. Efford also brought some 'good news' to his audience. It is his hope, and the federal government's that if we can reduce energy growth to two and a half or three per cent per year, instead of the historic five and a half per cent, we will realize tremendous savings. "If we cut energy usage very slight- ly, we would save every family.about $7,000, which the country would have to invest to produce energy, a total of $40 billion over the next ten years." Good home insulation is one method of saving energy. Dr. Efford pointed out that a national program to re-insu- late only the most inefficient houses would cost about $300 million, but the saving would amount to 10 million barrels of oil per year. What else can we do? Dr. Efford said that we can completely level off growth in gasoline energy b reducing the average weigbt of cars from 4,000 to 3,000 pounds, and that prediction includes an annual increase in automobile production of three per cent. We should also insist that our home appliances be effi- cient in their energy use. Manv of the appliances we now buy are as much as 50 per cent less efficient than better models.'Dr. Efford added that the U.S. government is pre- sently urging (through legis- lation) that appliance effi- ciency be increased by 20 per cent. The speaker also pointed out that on y a third of our energy consumption is spent using heating fuel and electricity for the home and gasoline for the car and other uses. This is a surprising statistic. Dr. Efford told his audience, that tlte other two thirds we consume are in the form of indirect energy, and "this is the part that we don't worry about." To illustrate his point, Dr. Efford used T.V. dinners as an example of our indirect use of energy. This sort of product has been pre-cooked before we buy it, and when we heat it up we're using extra energy. Dr. Efford described the alumi- num tray that contains the dinner as 'energy intensive', and the plastic wrapper, made from petroleum, also falls into that category. The resulf is that "the total energy used when we have this meal is very much increased." I we multiply this example many times over with simi lar goods and services, we can easily come to the conclusion that a great number of the products we demand con- sume tremendous amounts of our limited resources. Dr. Efford also emphasized that industry and government also have to do their fair share to reduce energy growth, but he left the clear impression that the task was not an impossible one. He concluded by saying that conservation can stretcb our energy reserves, cut costs. reduce inflation, improve our environment and way of life far into the future.
