For example if society s demand for electricity can be reduced by a given amount due to the use of energy conservation techniques this means that the amount of primary energy used is correspondingly reduced. Energy saved is as effective as energy generated in satisfying society s demands and in this sense energy conservation is equivalent to the use of primary energy resources.92 The definition of energy law coined above refers to the exploitation of energy resources. The methods of turning energy resources into productive and profitable use differ greatly between the various sources and the involvement of the law must be separately considered in respect of each resource. For example the exploitation of wind energy raises issues such as How can access to the wind be legally safeguarded for owners of wind generators 93 What environmental safeguards exist to protect against visual pollution caused by wind generators in environmentally sensitive locations 94 To what extent should planning laws be modified so as to permit the construction of wind generators in urban and suburban districts 95 And what remedies exist to protect neighbouring landowners from possible damage caused by flying rotor blades collapsing towers or microclimate modification 96 The allocation of rights and duties must next be considered. This expression is designed to consider the balance of legal rights and duties that must be established between the interested parties in respect of each energy resource. Again the appropriate balance will differ fundamentally according to the nature of the resource. In the case of non-renewable energy resources there is the initial fundamental issue of ownership rights in the resource.97 Are or should the resources be vested in public ownership or should they be .
