Greater Philadelphia – and its talented workforce, coastal access, and infrastructure – is well-positioned to continue to realize enormous energy-related benefits, particularly across the region’s manufacturing sector. In keeping with tradition, SHALE INSIGHT® promises to highlight these economic, manufacturing, environmental, and national-security benefits associated with shale with a particular focus on Philadelphia.
