Americans are doing with re gard to resource recovery and waste management When I went there I saw what happens when a country sets a goal with a deter mlnatlon to reach It prior to 1976 the Americans said they make resource re covery a reality by 1980 They said that garbage Is a natural resource and hey proceeded to say now how do we do if Reed went on to say that Ontario municipalities arc caught up in what he calls the town dump mentality Here seem to spend a lol of time finding why it won work According to the there ore so many that could be taken Some them ore negative cost wise now but they wont be for long Reed insists that the technology for resource re covery Is with us and is proven but it is not Imple mented because of the too soon syndrome which typical of so things In some European count official plans for municipalities must energy plans and this has spawned municipal genera ting facilities Reed describes systems where garbage is burned to provide steam The steam generates electric power and the power is sold to the prov utility and the waste heat in used for domestic hot water and heat In subdiv According to Reed using the waste heat that is created in tht process the operation becomes per cent efficient instead of the usual per cent During a year end inter view with this newspaper Reed said the big subject in tht Ontario I this year will be the dealings of the select committee on Ont lino Hydro The committee is expected to explore hydro theory on load management mas corridors and the or power In huge plants Heed favors decentralized plants for electric power and claims that two thirds of the power generated is lost be fore it is used can t afford to go on capitalizing lorgc plants under the guise of security when all we are doing is com milting ourselves to wastage of most of what is generated The alternatives can be found in Europe and he ted States Ultimately we have to get into the 70s Reed said the committee will look Into the matter of nuclear energy Not only will the government to be concerned about dealing with waste products from uranium but they hove to face the prospect of putting so much power in the hands of a few technocrats according to Itccd He says that because the expertise to operate a nuclear system is so complex it would be impossible to fill in for operators if they decided to strike He maintains that being serious as the pro blem of dealing with wastes Uranium wastes have a half life in other words remain dangerous for 500 years Reed soys the garbage Issue and the energy issue ore very closely related garbage represents such an abundant source of possible energy Turning to other areas the soys he sees 1J78 as the the Commission finallv re solves its difficulties with landowners and attributes a lot of that to the positive of Director Gerry Coffin and Chairman Ivor when the official plan is finally unvtilcd sup posedly in the next couple of months there remains another year of public hear and two or three months of hearings by experts Reed said that has always been the altitude of the government to disband the commission once the report ii finalized and have rccom included in municipal official plans and implemented by the municipalities by the escarpment While Reed agreed with Treasurer efforts to the budget by 19H he said he seriously questions the priorities m
