THE Wind sun and garbage 21st century home heating How you heat your home at turn of the may be for from what do today You very likely begin your day by looking out the window lo see kind of weather s In store If It a a bright day you may turn a switch that sets the internal workings a solar collector built into the root of your home Into operation If It a dark blustery day you may flick another switch that sets into motion a large three propollor situated high atop a nearby tower At the same time you switch off the electric furnace that has been providing power through the night or perhaps youve been using a furnace that burns methane gas produced from heated animal The adaptability of each and every one of us and our use of cheap and plentiful natural resources will be the keys to meeting future energy requirements That was the message of seven men who presenled approximately local residents with insights into our diminishing energy resources and possible alternatives in a forum presented last Tuesday by the Georgetown University Women Club The alternatives presented Included heating with garbage sunlight and water Julian Reed MPP for Burlington was moderator for the two hour Our lifestyle noted Reed has given us creature comforts that we don want to do without Conservation In Its truest sense has not been part of the lifestyle of North Americans and it won t be unless it forced upon us The lime however perhaps will come very shortly when conservation of non renewable resources will be necessary By 1983 according one evaluation Canada will not be able to meet Its energy needs We must look to renewables for the ultimate answer he said Brian of the provincial ministry of energy however disagreed with the immediacy of the problem The world will consume only 15 percent of Its known energy resources by the year he said but If alternatives are not found by that is when the world will reach a crisis Wl re not In any sort danger in the next five or 10 years But the chances that we hav sort of crisis the year ore very likely by the year It almost definite Mr who is involved in nuclear research ell that use of Uranium and Thorium will be the answer future needs Known supplies of those materials are rann plentiful than known supplies of gas coal and oil and supplies could be 150 times greater Through development of fusion techniques the potential of nuclear energy is infinite he Rick countered the use of nuclear energy by noting that percent of the energy produced in nuclear generating plants now is put Into lakes in the form of hot water runoff from the plonls For every two watts In the water there one wall of power on the wires We re probably investing great deal of energy to get very little out he said Mr Symmes Is a proponent of heating homes with solar energy a technique he is now using to heat his Terra home Solar energy although it receiving a great deal of attention these days has actually been around for many years he told the audience The benefits of solar energy j y f renewable simple and comparatively Bit Ihe negative points arc that is very diffused requiring large collectors it low grade energy unable lo drive a certainly capable of providing energy for space hoi water tanks plus it very unreliable The biggest problem Is that when need It the most you the least benefit from It Mr S minis said explaining hit lie power generated by his solar energy in June wis four to five times than that generated In January the lime when the energy is required the most High Initial costs another problem that arc stopping many people from having solnr energy systems installed in new homes Very few people consider operating costs over a long period The inllinl costs he said si be paid Dock In five or six years rather than 10 as present costs dictate hilling two birds with one stone would be the prime benefit of using garbage as an energy source explained 3111 Johnson perhaps HUH most well ki Ontario a garbage Is creasing by seven percent each year If we don soon start smartening up we be burled in our own garbage If we have enough energy to produce garbage then we should have enough garbage to He pointed to a number of plants In the S which ore using garbage In number of ways to generate power One particular plant in Hempstead Long Island uses tons of garbage each day to produce 250 Kilowatts of power That sort saving we need In such plants would be best located In the south he said on both the cast and west borders so that they would be able to service not only s highly in allied areas but also and Hamilton The future of was briefly explained by of a Toronto based engineering firm Investigating potential power sources for develop ments in the far north Although the Initial costs of s first wlndpowered generator have been high for the first wlndmlll- subsequent costs will Meantime Onlarlo Hydros costs arc skyrocketing Twenty percent Inst year percent this year and it looks as though It going to continue for quite some time Somewhere along the line Hydro are going to price themselves out of the market r Ina to a even point for the wind business Tom Wharton also of CHAD gave a brief ex planatlon of the use of Bio Masses in producing gases from biodegradable materials In India separate generating stations many of them single homes arc drawing their power from methane gas obtained from proper treatment of manure A home In Prince Edward Island has been built which utilizes a combination of sun wind and biodegradable materials for Its heat By properly Integrating these materials there is a chance that we can provide completely self contained family unit However here no way that you can separate the three into totally independent Kentners now catering to your sweet tooth If you ve noticed a com motion lately on Mill Street where Steen Diary and more recently Howard Grill were located It Dave and Gerry Kentner working on a bit of nostalgia Dave and Gerry owners and
