Estimated future costs of alternate energy sources used by Ducks Unlimited at remote pumping facilities / Hildebrandt-Young & Associates Ltd.

The following report presents future prices, in 1981 dollars, for energy resources used by Ducks Unlimited for the purpose of operating water pumps. The energy sources of interest are electricity, natural gas,diesel fuel, and propane. Each energy source was dealt with on a province by province basis. The proposed future energy prices, stated in this report in 1981 dollars, will differ from those paid by Ducks Unlimited in that there is no cost of transportation function built into them. Without a specific geographic location for each water pump which Ducks Unlimited proposes to utilize, this function was impossible to calculate. It is assumed, for purposes of this report, that Ducks Unlimited would negotiate this cost with the appropriate utility or agency which will provide the required energy resource.
