The shale gas revolution presents an historic opportunity for American competitiveness in the global economy. In addition to contributing to American energy security, the domestic oil and gas boom may provide an avenue for job creation beyond the energy sector as manufacturing companies "reshore" production facilities from abroad to take advantage of cheap sources of domestic energy. Consumers may also benefit from lower utility bills caused by an abundance of affordable energy. However, the outcome of the shale gas revolution is far from certain. Environmental concerns, alternative energy sources, the health of the global economy, and a heated debate about the export of American natural gas abroad may all influence the outcome. Join The Chicago Council for an expert panel discussion on the shale gas revolution and the implications for American competitiveness.
