Need alternate sources The Acton Free Press Wednesday Nov 30 Energy crisis is real Reed People do not want to be told that an energy problem exists and often prefer to dis card the crisis as a plot by the petroleum companies to raise prices and a lever to get the government to make us do things we really don t want to do according to HaltonBur lington Julian Reed Speaking to the annual meeting of the Halton Branch United atives of Ontario in Hills- burgh Thursday Reed assured his audience that a problem does Indeed exist and must be dealt with Reed said the energy issue la of prime Importance to farmers because farms are so depend ent on reliable energy Make no mistake about It The situation is real And if we are going to prevent a sub stantial wrench in the economy of our province we ve got to prepare now for the reality a decade from now Maybe the biggest single task of government is to get this message of truth to everybody to convince them of Its significance and show tbem that there are alter natives rooted in tion and alternate choices he suggested Reed said that sooner or later the province will have to move Into the renewable resource field for energy pro duction At that point Ontario will be reproducing ail or most of its energy through mechanisms Inside the borders of our province This will go a long way to wards solving our ment and economic pro blems provide a to

the socialists It will justify the conserver supply the consumer challenge the Innovator pacify the testerandgiveus all a degree of independence from utilities that has not been known in our lifetime

crops wood waste and even garbage is a very real probability when It comes to Ontario energy future A vegetable product can be used for producing either methanol or ethanor Reed said He claimed that an all acre sugar beet crop will pro duce enough energy to run a farm operation for a year The choice of is limitless Consider the boon to agriculture when such a transition occurs and I use the word when not if The development Is now a the only question Is liming The State of Nebras ka has already authorized the incorporation of methanol as an additive to gasoline and my understanding Is that one farm coop is already set to manufacture methanol from agricultural waste Reed noted the transition to renewable resources as fuel would come but the timing would depend on economics SHES NOT ONLY got
