Publisher Synopsis
The Shale Dilemma brings together leading energy experts to take stock of the multifaceted reasons for why countries decide to (or not) develop their shale gas reserves. Drawing on the US experience, the impressive collection of case studies from across the globe capably examine debates surrounding energy security, economic development, climate change, and local participation in shale gas decision-making."" - Erika Weinthal, Lee Hill Snowdon Professor of Environmental Policy, Duke University""North America's gas shale revolution has been a global game changer. The key question is what happens next? This volume provides an indispensable guide to the future prospects for the global industry. A common framework is used to explore the `shale dilemma' in countries with commercial production, where exploration is at an early stage and where it is banned. The analysis moves beyond established critiques to address the key issues of differential impact and equity and suggests how countries might make better decisions."" - Michael Bradshaw, Professor of Global Energy, Warwick Business School, UK Read more...
