Shale Gas Roundtable Crafting Recommendations for Shale Development
The University of Pittsburgh’s Institute on Politics has reportedly assembled a group of natural gas industry representatives, public interest organizations, and regulators under the name “Shale Gas Roundtable.” Members of the Roundtable have been quietly meeting for over a year to develop recommendations addressing various aspects of shale development. One of the Roundtable’s chief goals is to prompt a long-term study of shale gas development and its effect on the environment. The Roundtable expects to publicly release its recommendations in June.
