Clinton News-Record, 1979-10-25, Page 30T. . Energy booklet available in Toronto Ontario Energy Minister James Auld recently announced the release of a 48 -page booklet, the Ontario Energy Review, which provides Ontario residents, with basic information on Ontario's sources of•energy supply, and the likely trends in. energy use over the next 20 years. "A lot of people ask if there is an energy crisis or will there be one in the near future," Auld said. "I hope this publication will help them to better appreciate the changing, and very volatile, energy picture. I believe a well- informed donsufner can make more reasoned decisions about energy. I hope this publication will make a contribution to the general un- derstanding of energy matters in Ontario." The Ontario Energy Review is not aimed at discussing energy policy issues but to present, as Siding can be used for variety of purposes Siding is a product that comes in a variety of textures, colors and styles. It is made of a yariety of materials, has a variety of properties and a variety of ad- vantages. And, according to one leading siding manufacturer, siding is also turning up in a variety of unusual ap- . , plications. "Siding will always be used °. pri_marily on iesidential housing and commercial building exteriors," explains John Flanagan, national sales manager of Mastic Corporation, a firm which markets all types of siding products. "And while siding remains the . most popular solution to home maintenance problems, we're also .seeing siding applied in some. pretty unusual .places." One reason for some of the unusual applications, according to Flanagan, is the development of solid vinyl siding. This product forever ends most maintenance chores, and is an effective energy saver. Unlike aluminum siding, vinyl never needs painting, never chips, never dents, and is easy to clean. All of these features have endeared vinyl siding to the • homeowner and also to people who have found new applications for vinyl siding. One illustrious Texan, for example, recently built a new stable for his horses. He covered the • entire structure with vertical T-lok solid vinyl • siding, both inside and outside. He selected this particular siding because it is virtually main- tenance -free. Washing it with plain soap and water or just hosing it down will return the vinyl siding to its • original "just pain- ted" look. If it's good enough for horses, apparently it's ' good enough for cows too. A leading dairy farmer in Illinois also selected vinyl for his house and for his new stall barn. He selected a mist -green vertical vinyl siding for both his house and the inside of his barn because he wanted a product that would -end his main- tenance chores. "We've never had a product that filled so many needs before," said Flanagan. "No matter what kind of structure you cover with siding, a customer is interested in looking at all the. siding options. And when he studies the different kinds of siding, vinyl wins out every time." • The energy savers! we feature • CARPETS • BELVEDERE CABINETS • INTERLUX PAINTS clearly and simply as possible, the information guiding that policy, Auld points out in his Foreward to the book. It also describes energy supply and pricing, and the important roles to be played by energy con- servation and the development of renewable energy sources. The booklet also con- tains about 50 charts and graphs which include regional, national and global sources of energy that affect the Canadian and Ontario consumer. Other charts and maps show the relative scale of world energy reserves, gas and oil distribution networks in Canada and in Ontario, and one locates electrical generating stations operated, by Ontario Hydro across the Province. In addition, the Ontario Energy Review offers three scenarios of how Ontario's energy picture may change from now to the year 2000 in a section entitled Energy Outlook. "Many people are not aware that Ontario im- ports 80 per cent of the energy we use, most of it from other parts of Canada, but some of it from abroad," Auld said. "This situation means this province is ex- tremely vulnerable to changes in energy supply and prices. "The uncertainties of world supplies have recently been underlined in a dramatic way by the crude oil production cuts due to the revolution in Iran. We can't afford to view our energy future in isolation," he added. "Fortunately," as the Ontario Energy Review points out, "Canada is better placed than most developed countries to withstand world oil\ shortages because of its vast \ undeveloped reserves of fossil fuels. (But) developing Canada's remaini fossil fuel reserves will expensive, because they consist mainly of heavy oil deposits, oil sands, coal, and frontier oil and gas, requiring large, capital -intensive projects." The Ontario Energy Review is available at a cost of $2 per copy4 from the Ontario Government Bookstore at 880 Bay Street in Toronto (one block south of Wellesley Street) or may be pur- chased by mail (with a • cheque or money order enclosed - payable to the Treasurer of Ontario) • from: Ontario Govern- ment Publications Ser- vice, 880 Bay Street, 5th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1Z8. copies of the booklet will be distributed free as a reference document to public and school libraries across th province within the ne in few weeks.
