A6 - Wednesday, September 26, 1984 - North Shore News UNFORTUNATELY THE PREVIOUS TENANT WASN T A VERY Tid Good questions orth Van-Seymour MLA Jack Davis, who doesn’t always see eye to eye with his own Socred government, has sounded a warning about the proposed Van- couver Island natural-gas pipeline which deserves serious consideration. Victoria is firmly committed to going ahead with the project, provided Ottawa — kicks in $528 million to cover capital costs Yj pa and operating expenses. Provincial Energy DL Minister Stephen Rogers promises it will i. create hundreds of jobs and significantly 7) reduce heating bills for Island residents. So int far, however, there’s no confirmation that the new federal Tory government will play ball. Mr. Davis now says the whole scheme is ~ **senseless’’---in particular because of its yy l/ oa assumption that gas will remain at 65% of Yj the cost of oil. He argues that gas would have to compete with the Island’s two ex- isting Jow-cost industrial fuels, residual crude and hog fuel, and that there aren't enough homes on the Island to make the heating market alone economically viable. Obviously, it’s hard for the layman to judge between these conflicting viewpoints. However, Mr. Davis has aswell-earned repu- tation for factual and reasoned economic analysis. Meanwhile, B.C. Hydro is many millions of dollars in the red and preparing to lay off upward of 1,000 employees, pre- sumably as a result of overly optimistic Hydro projections in the past. Views bia Because..the , public, always+patys*Put Bach errors, the debate opened up by Mr. Davis at least poses good questions on behalf of every B.C. taxpayer.
