Media Info (mostly newspaper)
Some of you folks probably don't get the Akron Beacon Journal but a reporter named Bob Downing has been writing some interesting articles about the Utica drilling.
Gas exploration sparks economic surge in Carroll County
http://www.ohio.com/news/local/gas-exploration-sparks-economic-surg...
"Other counties with permits are Tuscarawas (seven)"
"The company (CHK) has boosted the number of drilling rigs in Ohio from five to eight this year. It may have as many as 20 rigs in Ohio by late 2012 and 40 by 2014, the company said."
"Ohio is expecting as many as 4,000 wells drilled into the Utica shale in the next four years as more rigs are moved into the state. Site preparation takes three to four weeks. Drilling takes three to five weeks more. Fracturing a well takes seven to 10 days."

A good example is the innovation of fracked gas, which has made the price of natural gas drop dramatically -- allowing a switch in electricity production away from coal. This in turn has singlehandedly caused the United States to reduce its annual CO2 emissions by about 500Mt, or about twice as much as the entire global reductions from the last 20 years of international climate negotiations.
