IHS: Shale Production Boosting U.S. Household Income, Economy, Trade

摘要

Domestic unconventional natural gas and oil production is increasing household incomes, boosting trade and contributing to an increase in U.S. competitiveness in the world economy, IHS Inc. said Wednesday. “The unconventional oil and gas revolution is not only an energy story, it is also a very big economic story that flows throughout the U.S. economy in a way that is only now becoming apparent,” said IHS Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin. “In addition to significant job and economic impacts from energy production and its extensive supply chains, the growth of long-term, low-cost energy supplies is benefiting households and helping to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, creating a competitive advantage for U.S. industry and for the United States itself.”
