JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania, – A new Ohio River Valley Institute report titled, “Appalachia’s Natural Gas Counties: Contributing more to the U.S. economy and getting less in return” quantifies the decade-long failure of the natural gas boom in the Marcellus and Utica fields to deliver growth in jobs, income, and population to the 22 Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia counties that produce more than 90% of the region’s natural gas.
About Coffee Break — Coffee Break is a weekly live-stream discussion with researchers, leaders, community organizers, filmmakers, and artists involved in Halt the Harm Network, which provides a directory and support to leaders in the fight against oil & gas.
