Learn about Unconventional Shale Gas and Oil Extraction
Concerned Citizens Ohio has produced (with the permission of all the speakers) a DVD you can use to Educate Yourself & Your Neighbors
DVD 1: The Effects of Shale Gas Drilling: Speakers: James Northrup & Dr. Anthony Ingraffea
Dr. Ingraffea is a Professor of Fracture Mechanics Engineering, Cornell University. He has done major research for leading corporations in the Oil and Gas Industry as well as for the National Science Foundation, and twice has won the National Research Council Award for Research in Rock Mechanics. At Cornell he has won many awards for his outstanding teaching.
James L. Northrup has been in the energy business for over twenty years as a planning manager at Atlantic Richfield (ARCO), an independent oil and gas producer, and owner of onshore and offshore drilling rigs; he attended Brown University, has an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, and is a member of the board of directors of Otsego 2000.
DVD 2: Health Vs. Wealth: The Hidden Costs of Shale Gas Extraction and Production
Ø Economic impacts of shale gas drilling: Economist, Dr. Janette Barth. (37 min)
Ø Natural radioactivity in shale: Nuclear Physicist, Dr. Marvin Resnikoff. (approx. 10 min)
Ø Social impacts on Bradford County, PA, Sociologist, Dr. Simona Perry. (approx. 30 min.)
Ø Analysis of economic viability of shale gas wells: Financial analyst, Dr. Deborah Rogers. (approx. 30 min.)
Ø Ecological and human health impacts: ecologist, Dr. Sandra Steingraber. (approx. 30 min.)

Ø “Why Here? Why Now? What Then?” a slide presentation introducing the basics of shale gas drilling.
Ø “Regulations” – a slide presentation introducing Ohio state and Federal law regulating petroleum extraction and production.
Ø “Introduction to CELDF” – A short introduction to the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund’s “Democracy School” which “explores the limits of conventional regulatory organizing and offers a new organizing model that helps citizens confront the usurpation by corporations of the rights of communities.
