Premier Dave Barrett recently asked
{British Columbians to turn off lights and
‘otherwise try to avold wasting electricity,
Expressing concern about the rapidly rising
consumption of power and the financial and
sb costs of providing I
} generating capacity, the t new Premier made
ireference to such items as frost-free re-
i frigerators, self-cleaning stoves and, we
ipresume, the electric tooth brush as wall,
, Mr, Barrett's proposal wasn't too well
‘received in his own home where, he told
treporters, his family told him in no uncer-
‘tain terms what they thought of the idea,

As a matter of record, though, the cost
of leaving a 40-watt porch bulb on over
inight is about one-third of a cent. A dish-
cwasher costs four to five cents a load to
:operate, and an electric tooth brush requires
two watts of power — which means a
‘family of four could brush its teeth twice a
tday for a year for a total cost of around
tone cent.

An electrical system, whether it be'B.C.
tHydro’s elsewhere in the province or West
‘Kootenay Power's here, must continue to
yexpand to meet the pesk needs of its
:system. This annual peak usually occurs
‘around the supper hour on a cold day
vin’ January, so it’s no use discouraging a
‘homeowner from installing an air condi-
stioner for summer use — the power must

‘be available anyway in the summer if he
‘chooses to use it or not, because it must
‘be there to use on that cold January even-
ting.

‘ The cost of electricity in this province
‘today to residential customers is lower than
‘it was in 1961. And that can’t be said
,of very many other commodities, if any.
‘It certainly can't be said. of the price of this
‘newspaper or a cup of coffee in a local
restaurant. In that same period, the wages
‘paid by the crown authority to its employees
‘have gone up approximately 85 per cent
‘and fringe benefits 100 per cent. (Fringe

VROOM

Don't Turn Off Jobs With the Light Switch

benefits are about 25 per cent of wages,
so whatever B.C, Hydro pays out in wages
it pays out another 25 per cent in fringe
benefits.)

The economy of the West Kootenay
area has been tied in very closely to pro-
vinclal hydro development policies for the
past 10 years, and still is today with the
Kootenay Canal Plant underway. And it
will continue to be affected in the future
with further developments proposed at
Murphy Creek and at Seven Mile on the
Pend Oreille. When Premier Barrett talks
about slowing down the development of
electrical power sources in this province,
he talks about slowing down the develop-

ment of this area and of the jobs created ©
* for local people.

Falling water is the cheapest form. of
energy available — and likely will always
be, With electrical power, the prime cost
is the capital cost. Because the fue! doesn’t
cost anything, the largest cost is the am-
ortization of the construction costs (capital
and interest), and then the much smaller

9. i and

costs.

B.C. Hydso has been: spending some
$270 million a year for the past five years
— much of it right here in the Kootenays
— on capital costs. It hasn’t been costing
the general taxpayer anything, because the
costs are being borne by the electrical
users, :

If Premier Barrett is really serious
about di ging the use of el he
might try doubling electrical rates. But that
would mean that in about five years time
B.C, Hydro would be debt free. If that
happened, and rates were then reduced to
reflect only the costs of generation, trans-
mission and distribution, electric power
would be so cheap that we could all afford
fo really “live better electrically.” But then
that would result in the need for yet more
power projects, wouldn't it? And they
cost money!
