The Mica earth-filled dam, said to be exceeded in height only by a dam in
Russia, holds back a wall of water 875 feet deep and backs up 90 miles. The
lake level, this morning, stood at 2,444 feet above sea level and the system is
designed to hold at 2,475. Four turbines are now in place and provision is

sale automotive parts, which
showed continual growth
even with the cutback in
energy.

Then came the why. It had
to be credited to people get-
ting more from their cars,
keeping them on the road
with repairs instead of trad-
ing them in every two or
three years,

Machan-Moreau also no-
ticed that homes on her block
began displaying “for sale”
signs almost overnight. This
was two years ago in Coquit-
lam.

Then came the usual why
in Machan-Moreau's mind. So
she took a poll. These people
were looking towards moving
closer to their work to cut
down on energy-hungry com-
muting.

To totally uproot a family
is a major decision. Machan-
Moreau could see rising gas
prices going out of the reach
of an average worker.

She feels there is a strong
need for an alternative, And
the alternative is gasahol.

She spoke of a system de-
veloped at Abbotsford where
one acre of land will yield 800
gallons of soft energy. Soft
energy is derived from quick
growing cultivars specifically
grown for regional climatic
conditions, to provide petrol
for cars. She sees soft energy
developed regionally with
more jobs created in cach re-
gion.

Her first move was in

peared gest. Here she
has been g the pos-

sibility with the government
to set to Ireland's first plant
to produce gasahol.

The following is taken from
an overseas publication, the
Sunday Tribune:

The head of Machan In-
vestment, Madame Elma Ma-
chan Moreau, met the Min-
ister for Energy, Mr: Colley,
last week and was given
guarantees that a licence
would be forthcoming to pro-
duce alcohol, one of the raw
materials needed for gasahol.

The non-petroleum-based
form of energy is at present
competing commercially with
petrol and oil in Canada and
the United States.

After her meeting with the
Minister, Madame Moreau
confirmed that the site for
the first plant in Leitrim had
been chosen.

An empty factory build-
ing surrounded by bogland
and wasteland —where the
necessary vegetation for the
production of “green oil” can
be harvested —has been
chosen.

Initial investment by her
company would be 750,000
pounds but after the first
plant was seen to be com-
mercially successfully she
expected similar factories to
be set up all over Ireland.

While Canadians have yet
to pay the same price per
gallon as in Ireland, rising
fuel costs make it necessary
to look for alternatives. Ma-
chan-Moreau feels that alter-
native is gasahol which, when
available, she burns in her
Lincoln. She says no modi-
fication has been made to her
car but it does need a change
of spark plugs a little more
often.

In her desire to see gasahol
developed here in Canada on
a regional basis Machan-
Moreau has left herself avail-
able to address any inter-
ested group. She may. be
contacted at the following

eau, Marchau Investments,
