Using Kapuni Gas
Enough has been said by various authorities to make it clear that fitting Kapum gas into the pattern of New Zealand's power resources will not be easy. Some traditional uses of power must inevitably be changeda new source of power, presumably cheap, efficient and abundant, will surely offer opportunities to new industries that could hardly be supported on more expensive fuels An example of what might be done has been suggested by one of New Zealand’s lead ing scientists, Sir Ernest Marsden, now in England Discussing the British
Government’s precautionary scheme to supply babies with uncontaminated
milk should the normal sources of supply be affected by nuclear bomb fall-out. he said there might be a demand from Britain for dried, fullcream milk powder. New Zealand, he said, had a ready means of drying milk —by making use of the discovery of natural gas in Taranaki, one of the nation’s intensive dairy centres. This is the sort gt thinking that New Zealand needs at this time of re appraisal of our world trading position. One thing is certain: New Zealanders will fail to meet the challenge and the opportunities of the time if they fail to make good use of this new source of power.
