Ohio Shale As we look for safe, reliable, domestic sources of energy -- we need look no further than the Buckeye State. That's right -- Ohio is sitting on top of a veritable "gold mine" known as the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations.
Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic fracturing is a means of extracting natural gas from shale formations such as the Marcellus and Utica. It is a proven technology used in more than 1 million wells and is governed by stringent standards and regulations to protect the environment and citizens.
Steps to Safety Hydraulic fracturing is just one of many steps to produce natural gas. As companies follow the strict standards that guide each step, environmental risks are mitigated and land and lives are protected.
More Jobs for Ohio The production of Ohio shale and access to Canadian oil sands will ensure Ohio employers have affordable energy to fuel their growth and create more jobs.
Shale Impact Development of Ohio's rich shale resources can generate jobs for Buckeye citizens as well as provide a steady, affordable source of energy for Ohio businesses.
Canadian Oil Sands Impact Canadian oil sands can provide Ohio's industries with a steady, reliable supply of oil. This will help to stabilize input costs, fuel growth, and foster economic and energy security.
Sound, Reliable Energy A steady, reliable supply of energy from Ohio shale formations and Canadian oil stands would help protect Buckeye State jobs.
Canadian Oil Sands Oil from Canada is in such abundance it can provide the United States with nearly 170 billion barrels of oil and remain our nation's biggest supplier of imported oil.
Canadian Oil Sands FAQs Canadian oil sands are a major source of energy to meet America's growing energy demands. Many Americans do not realize the United States already imports more oil from Canada than from any other country. Our North American neighbor currently supplies 21 percent of our imported oil, half of which comes from the oil sands of Canada.
Why Canadian Oil Sands? Oil sands from Canada will provide Ohioans with the fuel to power their cars, trucks and tractors; pesticides to effectively grow crops; and asphalt to build and maintain roads.
Technology Makes It Possible Modern oil sands production technology has transformed the ability to provide the United States with a supply of oil that is not only close to home, but also from a country that shares our American interests.
Other Energy Issues The United States' energy demand is projected to grow through 2030, and America is striving to meet its growing energy demands with all viable sources, including fossil fuels, renewables and alternative energy supplies.
Energy Taxes At a time when America needs economic stability and increased energy security, the government should not impose new taxes and fees on the oil and natural gas industry.
Domestic Access Increasing access to domestic sources of oil and natural gas is critical to putting our nation on the road to economic recovery and to meeting the energy needs of American consumers.
EPA Overreach The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a regulatory agency whose mission is to enforce federal environmental laws aimed at protecting human health and the outdoors. Recently, however, the EPA has overreached its authority by advancing policies, absent congressional action, that could cost millions of jobs, hurt American consumers and our economy, and put American businesses at a competitive disadvantage globally.
