Ele said alternative fuels have attracted worldwide attention as countries attempt to prepare for future shortages of conventional oil Socreds support Alberta INNISIAI1 Alta itPI Iederal Social Credit Leader Iabien Roy said Saturday he would support the Alberta gov ernment if it Chose to raise oil prices unilaterally to world lev els In an interview following news conference Roy said he believes natural resources be long to the provinces and should Ilt sold at prices determined by them Roy was attending the annual meeting of the Alberta branch of the federal Social Credit party It is his first dealing with Social redit members outside Quebec Itoy also released prepared statement on the Parti Que becois white paper on sover eigntyassociation The state ment said new sharing of powers is necessary in Canada and negotiations must take place for new agreement All parties recognize the need for change in the constitution regarding Quebec he said and Social Credit is no exception Roy spoke through an inter preter at the news conference Ilespllt the interest iovier said he docs not believe oil sands will be developed suf ficiently to provide significant production for world markets

the 1990s he said Manpower financing and other problems limit the rate of oil sands development to not more than than one new plant every couple of years This rate will barely keep up with the decline in anadas conventional oil prtxtuction said iovier The petroleum engineer also noted that costs of oil sands production will liker remain high Brent Scott president of Syn crude Canada Ltd echoed ior vicrs comments There is no magic way to re duce costs he said adding that the cost of mining and ban dling the materials will con tinue to be the largest operating expense at oil sands plants ItlIIJ TIIRIIE PLANTS Canada can probably IUIII only three oil sands plants in the next decade Scott said Three new plants would add 400000 barrels day to an adas domestic production capability by 1990 but the amount will fall short of meeting projected oiI requirements for that year in view of declines in conventional production and modest growth in demand he said Govier said the price of AI berta oil should rise but should do so gradually over three to five years If we are serious about con servation then we should use price as means of increasing the effectiveness of con servation he said CANADA
