The economic and socioeconomic impacts of developing natural gas as an energy resource extend far beyond Pennsylvania. While the magnitude of the world’s shale gas resource is still unknown, early estimates of large deposits globally combined with increasingly cost-effective extraction technology make energy independence a potentially attainable goal for many nations worldwide. Our speaker discusses how shale gas could have a profound effect on the global geopolitical landscape of energy security as more nations become supply sources.
