"The impact of shale gas extraction on the socio-economic
development of regions - an American success story and
potential opportunities for Poland" Report
Publisher: Kościuszko
Institute
Date of issue: 17.08.2012
About publication: The
report of the Kosciuszko Institute analyses not only the history but also the
scale and type of social, economic, and energy benefits connected with the
development of shale gas extraction in the USA and Canada, both in a regional
and national aspect. The information was based on the most recent economic data
and the results of sociological research concerning the way in which American
society perceives the benefits related to the functioning of the shale sector.
The analysis of the unconventional gas sector in the USA is, however, just a
starting point for reaching more important conclusions.
