the university of Guelph campus Reed tells Federation The Acton Free Press Wednesday March Future energy crops Farmers may no longer be growing crops solely for mal and human consumption but also wilt be producing for new energy sources accord to Julian Reed Hal ton- Burlington MPP In address to the board of directors of the Federation of Agriculture on Thursday Mr Reed told members there is the pro spect of an Unknown agricultural future and he predicts energy crops will be producing the stuff that makes wheels turn Carbohydrate crops such as corn alfalfa and other grains would be turned into methanol fuel for lion means said Mr Reed adding there is sufficient cellulose in forest products to heat all homes in Ontario on a perpetual basis Mr Reed a member of the Select Committee on Hydro spoke on the topic of energy conservations noting that the population must learn how to live off energy incomes rather than energy capital Back In history man lived on energy Income and while I don t believe In going back to the age of the horae and cart we have to recognize we are coming to the end of an era and moving into a new life Mr Reed criticized Ontario Hydro for its expansion pro gram involving the notorious hydro corridor and planned developments The reason I have stood by people fighting the corridor la that I don believe we have to continue to expand further adding that expansion with in Ontario Hydro is not as important as efficiency The result of continuing consumption and expansion are forecasts of additional hydro corridors and an escalation of nuclear power said Mr Reed By the 1990s the Hydro plan would be for Bruce A sites every nine months There has been a continued dependence on old institut Ions to remedy the problems of demand especially in Ont ario he continued The largest Canadian uranium contracts are the largest thing of its kind in the world and reflect the need for such said Mr Reed Money spent In massive expansion will Just not be there he added stating that utilities are competing against the same money farmers are after Conservation involves both quantitative and qualitative methods he told the gather noting the qualitative means of conserving energy is probably far more signlfi cant We will be choosing our energy source with the highest end use Stone Road Mall SUSAN COLLINS SPINS the old fashioned way during night school weaving
