PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday August 24, 1962 -- 13 Complete energy security for Canada rd < Ze: 9 ° ° We're using less oil. In Canada, we are able to produce more electricity, natural gas, propane and coal than we need. Wher we bring our oil production into balance with our oil consumption, Canada will be completely self-sufficient in energy. And with the assistance of . the Government of Canada, that's exactly what's Substitution Program grants to convert from oil to other fuels for heating. © Over a million have used Canadian Home Insulation Program grants to cut energy con- sumption by improving insulation. © A major pipeline project is taking western natural gas to new markets to help reduce dependence on oil. Another program is helping gas utilities to extend service to new customers. - ® The Propane Vehicle Grant Program is helping operators of large fleets of vehicles convert from gasoline to clean, economical propane. Government of Canada research and devel- opment is finding new ways of reducing our dependence on oil. Improved insulation tech- niques for homes, water heating from solar energy, generation of electricity by wind power, use of waste materials as an energy source are all being demonstrated in current federal government projects. id Salle \VA\Y [[aTCTIr= Talo BE Sa teT eo [SHY [Ta Toto oY programs from happening. © Thousands of homeowners and businesses have used Canada Oil Resources Canada Ressources Canada Energy security a source of strength In October 1980, the Government of Canada announced a series of programs and initiatives to make Canada self-sufficient in energy by the end of the decade. Its name - the National Energy Program. . After just 18 months, it's clear that the program is working, and that the majority of Canadians share the Government's energy goals. To reduce our need for oil, homeowners and businesses are enthusiastically participating in the many Government programs designed to help them convert from oil to alternative fuels. To increase our reserves of oil, billions of dollars are being invested in new exploration and development projects by the petroleum industry, despite unfavourable economic conditions. hen oil consumption and oil production are in balance, we'll have energy security, a source of strength for any coyhtry in today's world. Already, Canada has taken a significant step towards energy security. 0 J SE=0" Canad 9 [ 4 [ J We're finding more oil. In the north, in spite of difficult economic times over the past.year and a half, there have been new oil-discoveries in both the Beaufort Sea-Mackenzie Delta and in the Arctic Islands areas. Canada's established oil reserves, as estimated by the Canadian Petroleum Association, increased in 1981 with the inclusion, for the first time, of the promising Hibernia reserves in the Atlantic offshore. Enough gas has now been proved off Sable Island to proceed with development. All told, natural gas reserves have been discovered at more than twice the rate of production in Canada in recent years. Together, we'll make it! Enquire about Government programs, many backed by grants and incentives, which can help homes and businesses reduce their energy costs by conserving and converting.
