Today sources of oil are unreliable' and increasingly more expensive, so we just have to kick the habit. The habit won't be hard to break because Canada has an abundance of energy alterna, tives that are plentiful and are ultirriately, cheaper than oil. The Canada Oil Substitu-, , tion Program (COSI)), is a major part of the federal govern- ment's National Energy Program. COSP is designed to help reduce the use of oil for home heating in every pro- vince to no more than 10 per cent' of total household energy use by 1990. ^ COSP is a 10-year program that offers grants of up to 5800 covering half the cost of equip:tient and labour for changing your space or hot water heating system from oil to natural gas, electricity, propane or renewable energy sources such as wood and solar. The COSP grant is taxable.
