Consider Karnes County, Texas. A few years ago,
the community was plagued by poverty. Today, it's notuncommon for local residents to collect $70 millioneach month in royalties for allowing energycompanies to drill on their land. The wealth hasincreased the county's tax base almost six-fold in twoyears. Last year, more than $15 billion in royaltychecks was paid to private landowners by energycompanies in Texas alone.
Aside from Texas, many other areas of the country -including Pennsylvania - are also benefiting fromfracking.

County Judge Barbara Shaw said the boom has bailed the county out of its chronic financialwoes, but has also brought two huge headaches: The ongoing destruction of roads by heavyequipment and dangerous highways.
"My problem is I have $18 million sitting in the bank but I have at least $100 million in roaddamage," said the judge.
Karnes has joined forces with other Eagle Ford counties and hired an Austin lobbyist to pressfor legislation that would provide financial relief. Presently, the state keeps the tens of millionscollected from energy companies in oil and gas taxes.
Shale play turns Karnes County around, but not without trouble

"You have a lot of people making a lot of money, but basically, it's the people who had moneyto begin with - people with land, cattle, crops and government subsidies," said Ken Riley, aKenedy City Council member.
Just about every morning, Homer Lott, the former mayor of Runge, makes the 15-mile drive to
eat tacos with the coffee crowd at Becky's Caf in Karnes City. He passes the Bordovsky placeon each trip down FM 81.
"There used to be cattle in that pasture. Now it looks like refinery city. It won't be long beforeFM 81 becomes the refinery corridor," said Lott.

Claim 1: Fracking will contaminate the underground water supply.
Subsurface contamination from fracking is almost impossible. Frackinginvolves the injection of liquid 7,000 to 15,000 feet underground - far deeper
than drinking water aquifers, which are often about 300 feet below the surface.

hydraulic fracturing
noun
a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth's surface are opened and widened byinjecting chemicals and liquids at high pressure: used especially to extract natural gas or oil.

While the study found no direct link between water contamination and frackingitself, it did cite surface spills of fracturing chemicals as a risk to groundwater. Italso found blowouts underground during fracking operations have been under-reported.
Reading Beyond the Headlines: Fracking and Water Contamination | February 17, 2012 | By Mose Buchele| StateImpact.npr.org
Last year, an exhaustive University of Texas study done by the former head ofthe U.S. Geological Survey looked into alleged incidents of frackingcontamination. "None of the water-well claims involve hydraulic fracturing fluidadditives, and none of these constituents has been found by chemical testingof water wells," the study concluded.

U.S. shale gas reserve estimates plummet
January 26, 2013 | PennEnergy
http://www.pennenergy.com/articles/pennenergy/2012/01/u-s--shale-gas-reserve.html
Estimates of 2012 shale natural gas reserves in the U.S. represent a shockingstep backward for the rapidly growing industry, according to Bloomberg.
The projections released by the U.S. Department of Energy estimate that thecountry holds around 482 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas from
shale basins. That represents a 42 percent decline from 2011 when
estimates of shale gas reserves were placed at around 827 trillion cubic feet.
The declines stemmed from more detailed information available because of thedramatic uptick in natural gas exploration in shale deposits over the past year.
Probably the most substantial impact of the updated estimates, however,
was the 66 percent reduction in recoverable reserves in the Marcellus shale
formation in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia.
In 2011 that basin was estimated to hold 410 trillion cubic feet of gas,enough to fill U.S. gas demand for 17 years at 2010 levels. Now that number
has been reduced to 141 trillion cubic feet, or around 6 years.

Message: Natural Gas is a BRIDGE FUEL
The Center for American Progress - Natural Gas:
A Bridge Fuel for the 21st Century"By JohnPodesta and Timothy E. Wirth | August 10, 2009
Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuelit produces less
than half as much carbon pollution as coal. Recenttechnology advancements make affordable thedevelopment of unconventional natural gas resources.This creates an unprecedented opportunity to use
gas as a bridge fuel to a 21st-century energyeconomy that relies on efficiency, renewable
sources, and low-carbon fossil fuels such as naturalgas.

American Gas Association (AGA) | December 2012:DOE Report AffirmsRole of Natural Gas as a Foundation Fuel
Washington, D.C. A recent report commissioned by the U.S. Department ofEnergy (DOE) entitled Macroeconomic Impacts of LNG Exports from the
United States affirms the position of natural gas as a foundation fuel for
the United States and the nations energy future. The American GasAssociation (AGA) is encouraged to see DOE examining the important rolethat natural gas will serve in our nations energy and economic future.

Shale development is not about job creation. Optimistic job estimatesby industry have relied heavily on unrealistic multipliers to claim vast
numbers of indirect jobs. Such job estimates in industry studies ofteninclude professions such as strippers and prostitutes in the overall
job gains not the sort of jobs that most people think of when theyhear optimistic numbers from the oil and gas industry. Moreover, directindustry jobs (for onshore and offshore oil and gas) have accounted forless than 1/20 of 1% of the overall U.S. labor market since 2003,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This cannot be construedas game changing job creation.

Drilling into Big Oil's big job claims | ByChris Isidore @CNNMoney April 25, 2012
Parsing the job numbers: The jobs Felmy is
citing are based on research by energy
industry consulting firm IHS CERA, whichearlier this year estimated that the industryproduced 150,000 jobs in 2011.
Another 150,000 jobs a year over seven yearswould create the million additional jobs theindustry promises.
But that job count comes from the
broadest possible estimate of oil
jobs.
It includes everyone from the roughneck in
North Dakota drilling a new oil well, to a
trucker driving equipment to that oil jobsite, to jobs created by the spending of
those oil workers, such as a clerk at a Wal-
Mart or a stripper serving the workers
drawn to one of those North Dakota oil
boomtowns.

As shown by local bans in the US and Canada, national moratoriums in Franceand Bulgaria, and tighter regulation in Australia and the UK, the global anti-fracking movement has mounted an effective campaign against the extraction ofunconventional gas through hydraulic fracturing (fracking). Meanwhile, the oiland gas industry has largely failed to appreciate social and political risks,
and has repeatedly been caught off guard by the sophistication, speed and
influence of anti-fracking activists.

need someone else del ivering ou r message for us.
reposition the industry to appeal more broadly to young peopleTheissue is serious, but we shouldnt take ourselves so seriously. We need to
become much more clever. Our industry is going to have to become hipper.
In that respect, Conoly-Schuller said, industry executives and communicatorsare going to have to become well versed in the use of social media andonline tools.
People that like South Park are our audience, she said, and we need to
figure out how to talk to them. We need to figure out what works and how to getit out to them.
