We have coined the many
people in this province who have
objected to Ontario Hydro's re-
cent request for rate increases.
Sure we're already paying quite a
bit for hydro, and sure a' 8% rate
hike seems a bit much. But the
real reason we object to Ontario
Hydro asking for more and more
0 from its customers is because we
think Hydro is planning for the
past.
You can start from a wrong
premise and then work from it
and do projections and estimated
expenditures and budgets that
`prove" that the wrong premise
is valid. We think that's what
Hydro is doing.
All their thinking and planning
for future hydro use is based on
usage in the pre-energy crisis
1960's. Sure they are attempting
to have enough power reserve so
that the province never runs
short. But is that really a
responsbile position to take in a
world that is running out of
resources? What is Hyro doing to
reduce consumption?
You see, Hydro plans to double
Ontario's power output in the
*text eight years. That will cost a
Inige amount of money, money
that could be spent on, housing
and other urgent needs. Dr. John
Deutsch, former chaiithan of the
Econothic Council of Canada,
says that by investing so heavily
in power generation we may
actually be lowering our standard
of living because there will not be
enough money left for other
priorities.
It is a little known fact that,
with all their talk of saving
energy, Hydro billings still favour
big elctricity users over small
ones.
, The more appliances you have
and the more power you use, the
chew per your hydro, rite is. So
even if the ecology conscious
# consumer gives up some electri-
• cal goodies, he's paying more for
obeying his conscience.
A Toronto newspaper article
cited the example of a Thornhill
man who had in his house, four
TV's, a dishwasher, two stereos,
a heated pool, washer, drier,
power tools, total air conditioning
and about a dozen outside lights
that switched on automatically at
dusk. He was amazed that his
hydro bill, in summer, is $32 per
month.
In Seaforth as of August 1,
When rate increases here go into
effect, customers will be billed at
6 cents an hour for the first 100
kilowatt hours; 3 cents an hour for
the next 400; 1.5 cent's for the
next 1,000 and 1.7 cents for any
kilowatt hours above that.
This could mean that the little
old lady who uses a hot plate to
cook and .does her washing at the
laundramat is subsidizing the
power costs of someone with a
large air conditioned house and a
heated pool. Harldy the way to
encourage people to save energye
is it? The trouble with these rates
is that they were designed
originally to encourage people to
use more hydro, buy , more
gadgets and get a break in the
pocket book. They're not approp-
riate at a time when we are
learning that there is a, limit ta
resources and that consumption
can't go up and up and on and on
forever.
Hydro's huge rate increases
are based on plans to give the
province a power reserve of from
29 .to 38 per cent from, now until
1980. The reserve rate ree-am-
mended by the Edison histitute,
spokesman for US power compan-
ies, is 15 to 20 per cent.
If Ontario Hydro got rid of
billing that encourages over con-
sumption and waste, probably
even that reserve could be cut.
One or two less nuclear plants
would be necessary. Less good
agricultural land would be carved
up for power line and Hydro
customers and the provincial
govern em would both have
more money to spend on other
needs.
There are futher ways to cut
down on how much reserve power
Ontario needs. Experience in
other countries shows that when
hydro rates are increased, con-
sumers cut electricity use at non
peak times. This means that
power peaks remain big and
Hydro companies must keep, big
reserves to meet them.
But some European companies
have managed to-level off power
consumption by charging higher
rates for power used in peak
periods. This apparently is work-
ing, and Sweden aims for zero
energy growth by 1990.
The point is, Hydro doesn't
have to keep spending more and
more on the assumption that we
are going to use more and more
power. The boom days of the
sixties are bust and we need
many things more than we need
more electric gadgets.
And we can do without. Los
Angeles, California cut power
consumption under the threat of
the Arab oil embargo two years
ago. Los Angeles still 'gets along
on 9 per cent less power that they
did in 1971-2.
Why doesn't Hyro see what we
can do?

Home from
10,000 rpil0 trip
Din ah and Frank Sills, with
daughters Margaret and Joao are
home after completing a trip of
More than 10,000 miles on land
and sea. Their trip was through
the northern .states, up through
Alberta to the Mean Highivay and
via Dawson. City to Fairbanks
Alaska, down to Anchorage, over
to Haines, Alaska and then by
boat to Vancouver Island. Down
to Southern B.C. and then home
via Banff on the Trans Canada
Highway. Minor difficulties they
met included 6 chunks out of the
windshield; 2 flat tires, a Jost tail
pipe and part off the breathes.
Pleasant surprises were bump-
ing into Les Habkirk on the street
of„ Dawson City, meeting the
former Frances Jack (her father
was Rev. Jack at First Presbyter-
ian Church) on board the Alaska
Ferry and visiting with friends
and relatives including brother
Tom Sills and family Abbotsford
B.C.
