Lions Club President Klaas Degroot (left) talks with Ontario Hydro's Dennis Dennis McQuade during a recent meeting of the Club in Bowmanville. Mr. McQuade, technical manager for the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, Station, showed slides and discussed the subject "Why Darlington?" in his speech to local Lions. One hundred years ago, wood fuel provided Ontario residents with warmth and comfort. Only 75 years ago, the first electrical power was generated generated in Ontario by water. Today, nuclear energy is the newest home-grown fuel to meet the provincial energy needs. That's how Ontario's energy history was described described to members of the Bowmanville Lions Club in a meeting Monday August 27. "Ontario is a very energy dependent community," said Dennis McQuade, technical technical manager of the Darlington Darlington Generating Station. He noted that the province province must rely heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy requirements. Each of these fuels comes from outside the province. Nuclear power, however, relies on uranium fuel mined within Ontario. The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station alone saved the province 300 mil lion barrels of imported oil in its first 10 years of operation, operation, Mr. McQuade pointed out. In describing Canada's nuclear power system, the Darlington technical manager manager reminded his audience audience that it is a showcase of Canadian knowledge and technical expertise. "The Candu system has to be the most successful nuclear nuclear program in the western western world," he said. Although it was considered considered unlikely to succeed in the early stages of nuclear nuclear development, Candu power, plants have proven themselves to be the most efficient in existence. In 1981, Canada had eight of the world's top 14 nuclear reactors. And within that group, the top six reactors were Canadian. While hydraulic power stations operated by dams on Ontario's rivers are the cheapest source of electricity, electricity, Mr. McQuade pointed out that hydraulic sites are scarce. Moreover, they require require the flooding of large areas and this is not always desirable from an environmental environmental point of view. Nuclear power is the second second most inexpensive option option and the only alterna-' tive, given today's technology. technology. A comparison listing the cost of natural gas, oil, and electricity indicates that by 1985 or 1986, the cheapest means of heating a home will be by electrical power. Nuclear power will ensure ensure that this electricity is available. It will reduce Ontario's Ontario's dependence on fuels from outside its boundaries and will use Canadian technology and Canadian fuels. Mr. McQuade concluded his speech by stating that the reason for the Darlington Darlington Nuclear generating station is simple: Darlington, Darlington, Mr. McQuade said, is required because it is necessary. .«r When the fiiel track didn't show up, the Quigleys had to make an unexpected conversion to electridty.'Ihey should convert to Esso Home Comfort.
