Pope ready to -visit Argentina

VATICAN CITY (REUT- ER) — Pope John Paul said today he was ready to visit Argentina directly after he completes Friday's six-day visit to Britain.

In Buenos Aires, the Ar- gentine government an- nounced that the Pope's visit would take place June 11-13.

The announcement was made after papal envoy Ar- chbishop Achille Silvestrini

‘met with Argentine Presi-

dent Leopoldo Galtieri.

In a letter to Galtieri re- leased in Buenos Aires on Tuesday night, the Pope as-

“would be willing to go, dir- ectly if necessary, from Eng- land to Argentina, and there, among you and with you, my dear -brothers and sisters, raise the same prayer for the victory of peace over war.”

Archbishop Achille Silves- trini, head of the Vatican public affairs . department, arrived in Buenos Aires to- day to present the Pope's letter to Galtieri. Its text, in Spanish, was made public Tuesday night by the Vatican ambassador to Argentina.

sured the Argentine people ©

his visit to Britain would be. “strictly. pastoral and - in- way political” and “gn i

cessant prayer in favor--of-

peace.

Most Argentinians are Ro- man Catholic. Many are re- ported upset that the head of the Roman Catholic Church would visit Britain while Ar- gentine and British forces are

warring over the South At- .

lantic colony which Argen- tina seized April 2.

Me Actress crying —

and starving

. ROME (AP) — Actress Sophia Loren cries in her prison cell and is eating al- most nothing, the leading Rome newspaper Il Messag- gero reports. :

Quoting family and prison sources, the paper says seven days in jail have made the 47-year-old Italian film queen “extremely nervous and de- pressed.” .

She cries, chain smokes and eats little, the paper says. The only thing she ate

Tuesday were tiny balls: of mozzarella cheese and some cherries. :

She also has trouble sleep- ing but continues to write her “prison diary,” says the re- port which could not be im- mediately confirmed.

Loren is serving a 30-day sentence for tax evasion at a women’s prison in Caserta, 30 kilometres north of Na- ples. She has asked President Sandro Pertini for a pardon.

Hydro explores alternate power ©

By BARBARA GUNN LANceuvER (CP) — There's more than one way to light alamp .. 4, , : With that in mind, scientists and researchers who staff British Columbia Hydro’s research and development

laboratories in nearby Surrey are exploring options.

The $20-million centre, which opened in May, 1980, is only one of the numerous locations where scientists working for the huge Crown corporation are talking about potential, non-traditional sources of future energy.

Investigations have taken them to Christopher Point on southern Vancouver Island, where the effectiveness of a wind turbine is being gauged; to Meager Creek, 120 kilometres north of Vancouver, site .of a possible underground steam furnace; and to a number of sites along the B.C, coast which may have potential to generate tidal and wave power,

What’s'the point of it all? Hydro, which serves 2.5 million British Columbians, has a list of major traditional projects extending to the year 2000, But Dick Scarth, the corpor- ation's alternate resources supervisor, says the research is being carried on with an eye toward the 21st century.

CREATE SUBSTITUTES

The near-term interest, he said, is to develop a substitute — or supplement — for high-priced’ diesel fuel, currently used by 16 remote B.C, communities not connected to the provincial energy grid.: - z

“We are pretty ‘sure that our ‘large hydro resources will take us to the end of the century,” he said. After that, other large-scale options must be considered — such as coal-fired generating plants, which are expected to cost more and more,

“If the cost of generation from those (alternate) sources can be brought down, it might be that they will be competitive ... . that’s the game.”

Scarth said wind power generations would currently be five times more exp: than e I hydroek power. The cost of generating electricity by tidal and wave power would be about eight times more expensive.

Solar energy cost will also prohibit its development in the near future, he added. The photo-voltaic method of converting the sun-into electricity involved silicone cells which dislodge electrons when contacted by sunlight, thereby creating a current.

“Unfortunately,” he said, “the cost of these cells is very, high.” i

HAS POTENTIAL

The exploratory work. offering the most immediate’

promise involved geothermal reservoirs through to be buried thousands of -metres below the surface’ of southwestern British Columbia, says Joe Stauder, Meager Creek project enineer.

“If everything goes well,” says Stauder, who's worked on the $12-million project since it began eight years ago, “we

may have power by 1986. Right now, indications are that the _

resource is there.”

The firat well drilled at the site found steam and temperatures higher than 200 degrees Celsius, Stauder said the 80 people working at Meager Creek are optimistic a second well will make a similar find. Based on the results of the drilling program, he said, Hydro will decide whether to apply to the B.C. Utilities Commission, the provincial regulatory body, for-an energy project. ¢ construct.a-56-megawatt. pilot plant. ‘

Jack Davis,:a former -B.C:-energy mini: frequent critic of Hydro planning, says the real potential in any of the projects being currently explored is extremely limited. i

WIND A WASTE

“Wind's a waste of money — it's just window dressing,” ‘

said Davis, Social Credit government member of the

i for North: “Tidal power is a long way out, and again the cost of harnessing it would be tremendous.

“Solar is nothing but machinery,” he added. “There's only one company in all of Canada selling solar panels. It’s not marketable.” 6.

Jay Lewis, an economist currently working on an energy analysis project for the federal Department of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, disagrees with Davis’ assessment that most of the exploration has little or no potential. a. 4

He also said the money Hydro has spent on the projects {$12 million at Meager Creek, $250,000 for the installation and development of the Christopher Point wind turbine) cannot be considered wasted, even if those projects prove unfeasible. .

“It (the money) is just a drop in the bucket,” he said, “That amount of moeny is probably the least amount of money Hydro could spend even to think about it.”
