Proceed with Caution: Report on Pa.'s Energy Future Makes Unreliable Economic Claims from the PA Budget and Policy Center
""The U.S. Chamber of Commerce/IHS report on Pennsylvania's energy future must be viewed with caution. It makes the same inflated claims about gas drilling's impact on job growth and tax revenue as previous industry studies that have been widely discredited. At the same time, the report completely ignores the costs that drilling imposes on citizens, the environment, states and local communities. ... Despite all the hype, unconventional gas development provides a tiny share of employment and tax revenue."
