An tTHoucH many of us have a lendenev to nay little atten tion to anything which isn't directly affecting our own families, ncign borhoods or communities, as an Oregonian, I feel Alumax must be of concern to all of us. We each have a stake in the outcome of the decision which determines whether or not Alumax builds iheir Alumi num plant, because this is t critical issue involving our environment and the future of industry in our stale. All Ihe rumors I've heard raised a number of questions in my own mind, so I decided to go directly to Alumax and ask for all the daia compiled by the environ mentalists and energy authorities relating to the power question. I think you should be interested in what I found. Why dot Alumax want lo build In Oregon? One of the Pacific Northwest's most valuable resources is its river system and the electrical power generated at dams on those rivers. It was the availability of this rela tively economical power resource that brought Alumax to Oregon. n c itxitw. 1 . . v,,.. ft i iff i M dt w m it : . -..." m .a i n w s n 1 Ml. from private utility companies which generate their own power and no longer buy firm power from BPA. So far as the other 20 are concerned, or those who re ceive their power in directly from BPA through a publ or cooperatively held utility. Alu max will still have only a minimal ctfect. The cost for providing new generating facilities required to produce power for the region is a cost which would have to be met with or without Alu max. BPA is already committed to the building of these plants. With out Alumax, (he construction of the new facilities might be delayed at the most for only three months What prcntag ol BPA power will go to Alumax 7 If in 1978 we were to experience a critical low-water year, and there were not enough energy to meet the firm power needs of BPA cus tomers, Alumax could receive as little as .8rS . Avtuming a good water year. Alumax would still be limited to 3.6ff . The exact percentage of BPA power generating capability made available to Alumax depends di rectly upon river flow and needs of BPA's public and cooperatively held utilities fl.mt Miller 1211 A' . Cltsan Portland. Oreguii public utility and cooperative cus tomers of which only 20rf are in Oregon and Wrc in Washington. What will be Alumix's effect during a power shortage? Flcctrical utilities, are sold what is referred to as firm power, or what is required to meet peak load re quirements for their residential, commercial and firm industrial customers. The power being sold to Alumax is 25 rr firm, and 75 rc interrupiihlf. under conditions of extreme power shortages and de lays in thermal plants. Will Alumax pay km lor thlr power than the consumer? Alumax is an industrial user and as such purchases its power at a wholesale rate directly from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). Under the terms of all new industrial contracts, they will pay the same rate as all public utilities. The rate the consumer pays is al ways slightly higher because of the added costs incurred by the utilities in delivering power to the consum er's home. Will IN consumer's present elec trical rate go up II Alumax It built? Alumax. in and of itself, will not affect the consumer's electrical rates. In Oregon, approximately 80 of all residential and com mercial consumers are affected in no way by BPA power sales. These consumers get their power directly 197S Projected BP Sales Mm Horn r 1 33.7 22.4 7.2 2.8 (stMWI Distribution ol Energy kit ll'lwir Ottw Dnd Stnra Mutual Cntamn Mumu 8,072 865 80 What happens lo Ihe power H Alumax la not built? For the time being it would be added to BPA reserves and sold lo other industrial customers in the BPA region. In 1982 and beyond, the power would be used to serve It the production ol aluminum the most efficient ate ol our Northwest power resourcet? The economic impact of the alu minum industry on the Pacific Northwest has been carefully doc umented in a recent study by the A. D. Little, Inc. consulting firm. One in every five families has a wage-earner employed in the alu minum industry, or an industry dependent upon aluminum. The average annual wages of alumi num workers are 22 higher than the average annua! wage for other manufacturing workers in the Pa cific Northwest. Aluminum is universally consid ered to be an indispensable mate rial for countless consumer and industrial applications. When used in automobiles, trucks or airplanes, it reduces total weight and saves energy. When aluminum is used in insulation, roofing and siding in home construction, it saves heat ing costs, another large user of energy. And. probably one of its most important characteristics from an efficiency standpoint is that it is virtually indestructible. It outlasts most other comparable materials by many, many years. When it does finally become scrap, the addition of only 5 of the ori ginal energy required to make a pound of primary aluminum can return the scrap aluminum to the marketplace for another long and useful life. Will tht construction ol Alumex keep any other Industry from coming Into the Northwest? No. There is currently energy avail able for development of the North west. However, the future supply of energy depends upon our ability to construct new electrical generat ing plants. The aluminum industry as a whole has financially assisted in the development of these new generating facilities. This message from a concerned Oregonian has been published in the public interest.
