Mr.
Hamilton
said
that
when
the

they
produce
a

"The

Robert

told

press
conference
here
Wednesday
the
utility
will
decide
this
year
if
coal
or
dammed
rivers
will
supply
the
province's
future
energy
needs.
Thermal
energy
would
come
from
the
Hat

in

Hydro
energy
would
come
from
future
development
of
the
Columbia
and
Peace

systems.
A
proposed
dam

system
on
the
McGregor
River,
50
miles
east
of
here,
is
part

plans
for

Bonner
said
there
are
80
million
kilowatts
of
hydro
potential
in
the
province,
18
million
of
which
are
free
of
environmental
considerations.
"The
damming
potential
of
the
Peace
and
Columbia
Rivers
is
relatively
free
of
fish
and
many
ecological
considerations,"
he
said.

"wind

Inside,
Greenpeace

told
Bonner
the
McGregor
diversion
would
cause
serious
environmental
damage.
Peter

Greg

said

and
was
not

OTTAWA
(CP)
-
The
federal
cabinet
granted
final
approval
today
for
offshore
oil
drilling
in
the
Beaufort
Sea
despite
protests
from
native
people
and
environmentalists.
Northern
Development
Minister
Judd
Buchanan
said
the
decision
to
allow
Dome
Peti
oleum
Co.
of
Calgary
to
drill
came
following
"a
vigorous
debate"
at
a
weekly
cabinet
meeting.
But
Dome
would
be
limited
to
drilling
for
about
I'i
months,
allowing
time
for
action
to
be
taken
on
any
accident
before

"At

Bonner
said
there
was
some
question
in
his
mind
if
burning
coal
for
thermal
energy
was
the
best
use
for
that
resource.
He
said
there
were
also
other
aspects
associated
with
Hat
Creek
which
no
one
has
paid
attention
to.
"One
has

the
other
has

with
the

be
dug
over
a
35-year
period
and
the
third
has
to
do
with
the
comparative
economics
of
hydro
versus
coal.
"The
questions
that
are
in
my
mind
purely
from
a
personal
point

view

Hat

whether
or
not
the
simple
exercise
of
burning

is
the
best

which
we
can
put

he
said
Bonner
said
Hat
Creek
represents
a
35-year
solution
to
energy
needs.
"At
