Stories keep rolling in about the booming economy in a faraway land.
Tales of jobs, new construction on every corner, more jobs, hotels booked for a year, office space long vacant now renting for the highest prices ever fetched, and even more jobs. Yet despite years of growth, the influx of foreign capital hasnt subsided, but in fact, continues to exponentially increase.

He recently signed a deal to permit the extraction of natural gas from his land.
He gets an up front payment of several hundred thousand and an annual payment based on production and pricing.
He had to give up right of ways and has the gas wells over his property, but for him it was a good decision.
The gas production company obviously will make money, and during the past 24 months, due to the increased supply of gas, my winter gas bill has gone down from over $ 400/month to less than $200/month.
The supply and demand curve still works.
Shale is clay that has turned to rock.
Cassius Marcellus Clay used his energy to turn his opponents to mush.
The Marcellus Shale will turn into energy (if the mush-brained politicians will allow us to mine it).
