"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.
