The petition calls upon fall. The committee includes the government to pass representatives of the Toronto legislation to give the unborn Right to Life, the Coalition for The Federation of Ontario Naturalists took sharp issue this week with the direction and emphasis of recent govern- ment programmes to conserve energy. "Our governments,". obser- ved F.O.N. spokesman William Draper, "seem to think of energy conservation as an un- pleasant, short-term measure designed to overcome shortfalls in supply. They do not under- stand that energy conservation must mean stabilization of energy demands over the long term. Moveover, the emphasis on voluntary belt -tightening by individual consumers com- pletely ignores the more impor- tant sources of energy waste: commercial building codes, transportation and resource policies, industrial practices and marketing schemes." "For example while rigorously examing the energy habits of the private consumer, neither Energy Minister MacDonald's green paper on energy, nor the Deutsch report, nor the recent Ontario govern- ment's list of 47 ways to con- serve energy, have commented on, the enormous waste built into industrial. 'practices," he said. But the absence of such documentation does not mean there are no savings to be made," Draper said. "The Southern California Gas Com- pany has listed 60 ways in- dustry can, conserve natural gas, while research studies in-, dicate that industry can reduce its consumption by 30 percent through existing technology and measures which are com- petitive with current energy prices." r The FON feel while it is' true tIat voluntary reductions- in driving speeds from 70 to 50 m.p.h. mayreduce gas consum- ption by 20 to 40 percent a shift in the federal government's transportation policy to move freight by rail rather than by truck could reduce the energy cost .per ton mile more than three times. A shift from air to rail freight would reduce the energy cost- per ton mile 54 times! (Mr. McKeough .Nov. 27/73) The importance of air cargo transport in the future has been emphasized in Mr. MacDonald's energy paper and is one of the main reasons why the air transport market will increase 12 times by the year 2,000. Rail transport, however,. will little more than double during the same period. "Clearly then," said the Federation, "our governments must begin to perceive energy conservation as being more than just an emergency measure. They can and must begin to conserve energy Goderich FRENCI through sustainable and the wise ,use resources. Our depends On it."
