A look at the effects of Shale development by Tom Shepstone

[vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]It’s easy to say that Shale gas development has helped revitalize communities but we can throw around employment statistics till we’re blue in the face. The best way to see the positive effects Shale development can have in communities is to make comparisons to undeveloped Shale areas. That is exactly what Tom Shepstone, for NaturalGasNOW.org, did in his latest post when he compared Susquehanna County, PA to nearby Sullivan County, NY.
