Hello
Shale gas exploration was founded in north Texas. It is my very humble opinion that if folks would objectively examine its economic impact, then they could only conclude that its impact on the economy is SIGNIFICANT.
The experts are working out the bugs related to the process. I trust them to protect the financial interests of the companies they represent by ensuring that safe and sound means are employed to release this form of energy.
As a nation, we must come to appreciate the fact that fracking technology has the potential to lead the U.S. to energy independence. That is if special interest groups would get out of the way and allow innovative solutions to energy needs to continue to be explored and developed.
