Which one do you believe REALLY supports shale? It’s a no-brainer. 
“We believe in using the resources we have in this basin to build a stronger tomorrow, without ignoring the critical realities of today,” said Marcellus Shale Coalition President Dave Callahan during his opening remarks at SHALE INSIGHT® last year.
