When Fracking Comes to Town
2022
Overview
When Fracking Comes to Town
traces the response of local communities to the shale gas
revolution. Rather than cast communities as powerless to
respond to oil and gas companies and their landmen, it shows that
communities have adapted their local rules and regulations to meet
the novel challenges accompanying unconventional gas extraction
through fracking. The multidisciplinary perspectives of this
volume's essays tie together insights from planners, legal
scholars, political scientists, and economists. What emerges is a
more nuanced perspective of shale gas development and its impacts
on municipalities and residents.
Unlike many political debates that cast fracking in
black-and-white terms, this book's contributors embrace the
complexity of local responses to fracking. States adapted legal
institutions to meet the new challenges posed by this energy
extraction process while under-resourced municipal officials and
local planning offices found creative ways to alleviate pressure on
local infrastructure and reduce harmful effects of fracking on the
environment. The essays in When Fracking Comes to Town
tell a story of community resilience with the rise and decline of
shale gas production.
