§ 9.145. Land and energy planning.
(a) National and State energy demands will create increased pressures for the extraction of coal throughout the Commonwealth. It will become increasingly difficult to protect ecologically valuable areas if energy policies support uncontrolled growth and development and continually create the demand for more energy. Although it is essential that effective energy solutions be developed at the national level, the Commonwealth may develop a more rational ap- proach to energy resource management through environmentally sensitive land policy planning.
(b) It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to develop coordinated land and energy planning programs which protect the environmental quality of the Commonwealth and encourage energy conservation.
