Shale Gas : : The Promise and the Peril.
Shale gas has the potential to transform the U.S. energy-based economy in the electricity, transportation, and chemical sectors. U.S. success can be expected to translate to Europe and other parts of the world. Shale gas production is uniquely enabled by hydraulic fracturing, a technique that has co...

Rao, Vikram. Shale Gas : The Promise and the Peril. Shale gas Research Triangle Park, NC RTI Press/RTI International 2012 Research Triangle Park, NC : RTI International / RTI Press, 2012. ©2012. 1 online resource (182 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier RTI Press Publication Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. Shale gas has the potential to transform the U.S. energy-based economy in the electricity, transportation, and chemical sectors. U.S. success can be expected to translate to Europe and other parts of the world. Shale gas production is uniquely enabled by hydraulic fracturing, a technique that has come under heavy scrutiny for its potential to cause environmental damage. In this book, Vikram Rao addresses the issues surrounding shale gas. The book is intended to inform both sides of the fracturing debate, where currently rhetoric is overtaking understanding. Tailored for a non-technical audience -- with technical chemistry and geology information in sidebars -- the book culminates in suggestions for research and guidance for policymaking. Shale gas basics -- So, where did all this gas come from suddenly? -- The oil plateau and the precipice beyond -- Gas will remain cheap and displace coal -- What a difference a hundred million years makes -- Environmental issues -- Beyond gasland -- Preventing contamination of surface and groundwater -- Zero fresh water usage -- Is natural gas indeed worse for the environment than coal? -- Earthquakes: Should we be concerned? -- Economics of production and use -- Is shale gas production indeed a giant Ponzi scheme? -- Chemical industry prodigals can return -- The ethane dilemma -- The Alaska pipeline is dead; long live the Alaska pipeline -- Transport liquids from gas: Economical now -- Natural gas vehicles: A step in the right direction -- Advantage methanol -- Informing on policy -- Turning the Pennsylvania two-(mis)step into a waltz -- Will cheap natural gas hurt renewables? -- Kicking shale into the eyes of the Russian bear -- Shale gas and U.S. national security -- Sustainable development: A double bottom line, plus afterthought -- Flex-fuel fairy tale -- Next steps -- Research directions -- Policy directions.
