Shapp Defends Pennsylvania Strip Mining Record
Pennsylvania Governor Shapp disputes coverage of surface mining by NBC and critic Caudill. He notes the state restores about 10 000 acres annually and invites Caudill and McKee to visit to see reclamation under the all surface mining act. The report also cites U S Bureau of Mines data showing 78 fewer coal mine deaths in 1971 versus 1970, with industry leaders urging continued safety efforts.

Future of fuels assayed by coal official in DC talk
James R. Garvey of the National Coal Association told the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers that the United States has more than 100 years of coal supply even with growing energy needs. He projects coal output could double from 603 million tons by 1990 to 20 years hence, while oil and gas are thinner prospects and uranium may run out sooner. He urged a government energy policy to unlock coal’s potential despite environmental concerns.
