Ohio Shale Play
Although oft overused in politics, “game changer” is a term that has been applied almost universally by industry, academia and executives in regard to the potential of the Marcellus, Utica and Point Pleasant shale plays in the Appalachian basin. The technological advancements that allow for the economical extraction of energy-rich fuels from the shale formations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York can bring:
- stable prices and a supply of clean-burning, reliable energy for the nation;
- benefit to consumers, especially Midwest manufacturers; and
-
sustainable economic development and certainty to the upper Appalachian region.
