Post Carbon David Hughes New Shale Gas Report: Drill Baby Drill

A provocative new analysis of so-called unconventional fuel reserves in the United States concludes that the exuberant forecasts are simply unwarranted based on the facts of geology. In short, the hype around shale gas is just that. Hype. We speak with the author of the Drill Baby Drill study [http://www.postcarbon.org/drill-baby-drill/]. David Hughes is a fellow at the Post Carbon Institute.

In this landmark report, PCI Fossil Fuel Fellow David Hughes takes a far-ranging and painstakingly researched look at the prospects for various unconventional fuels to provide energy abundance for the United States in the 21st Century. While the report examines a range of energy sources, the centerpiece of "Drill, Baby, Drill" is a critical analysis of shale gas and shale oil (tight oil) and the potential of a shale "revolution."
