Catching up on the correspon-
dence: (There isn't much of it but it
does prove that some farmers can
write). From Paul Fair and his re-
turn address is not on the letter so 1
do hot know where it came from.
The envelope was thrown out when
my granddaughter "cleaned up" my
desk.
"Have you become a yuppie? Are
you short of letters that you bait
the people of the '60s and include
your address?
As many times before, you have
-missed the real point. Money for
more power is not the answer.
More money, more garbage nuclear
wastes, etc.). Money died to
.conservation of power is the an-
swer. More money to nuclear power
creates even more waste when sim-
ple ways of conservation and higher
costs would stop the need for even
mpow•er...
o
Woree people f the '60s, who also
happen to be Holstein dairy farm-
ers, are concerned about nuclear
power and other wasteful industries.
It is time you became aware of this
and start suggesting throwing more
"money at ways to make more effi-
cient use of what we have and real,
long-term solutions. Nuclear power
is a short -terns, deadly answer."
He signed himself as. a short -
haired, hardq.working, once long-
haired wader.
I appreciate the. letter -because it
makes a point I did not stress and
that is conservation. We have he -
conic so.prolligate with energy that
we do not love mother earth as we
should. We should be conserving
constantly but we go on a conserva-
tion binge only when the warning
signals go up. or when the price of
energy skyrockets. Then, we go
back to our old ways again. It is,
therefore, a road to energy shortag-
es. We conserve, then we hinge.
Eventually, no more fossil fuel.
"shanks for the letter, Paul, and
keep that hair short or wear a cap
when milking. (Just joking!) -
Another letter with a news release
arrived from the Canadian Fusion
Fuels Technology Project. Perhaps
some of you saw the news release.
1t was a direct answer to a_column I
wrote extolling the virtues of nucle-
ar fusion, not nuclear fission. There
is a difference. -Nuclear fusion
means no nuclear wastes.

government (bless you, David), is
pouring $9.4 million into' a re-
searc-h project.. to develop fusion
fuel. The letter. said the project's
budget is set at $33 million for the
next five •years; about double the
budget for the project since it was
launched in 1982. Ontario. Hydro
and Atomic Energy of Canada will
help.fund the project. • • •
The article gave a brief explana-
tion for unscientific dunderheads
like me as to what nuclear fusion is
all- about. In fusion, heavy atoms
arc split to create heat but Tight at-
oms such as hydrogen arc joined to
generate heat and that heat is used
to drive t„prhipes to produce electric-
. ity. The process does not produce
radioactive waste. •
It's clean Hence, no need to store
or dispose of radioactive garbage.
Ontario, says Energy Minister
Robert Wong, has an abundant sup-
ply of two fusion fuels: tritium and
deuterium. In 1990, an international
thermal eilperimental reactor will be
built in association with the Euro-
pean Economic Community. .
The Ontario government- is hop-
ing it will be• built in Ontario
which would again put this country
in the forefront -of-.nuclear energy
use. .
'I'm all for the idea, especially if it
is as clean as the. experts. say.
About 80 percent of Ontario's ener-
gy comes- from diminishing fossil
fuels and they contribute to the pol
lution-problem. The Other 20 per-
cent comes from nucleaar reactors -
thc dirty kind - at Douglas Point.
For what it's worth, I'm happy
•both levels of goVernment arc con-
tributing to fusion research. Too
bad it wasn't more.
We're wheelinl...and dealin!...
