It's not Fracking its Hydraulic Fracturing

Hydraulic fracturing is a great opportunity for Ohio's economy and surprisingly its nothing new. Hydraulic fracturing started in 1953 in Ohio, but has been around for about 100 years.

Hydraulic fracturing is guaranteed to increases 50% because of our need for natural gas. If we truly want to be secure as a country and less dependent on foreign sources than this is the way to go! Our goal should be to start producing just as much as we use. Currently Ohio is only using 20% of their resources.

As for Ohio's economy hydraulic fracturing is looking to create close to 200.000 jobs! Talk about a major economy boost! Thanks to hydraulic fracturing our very own Youngstown steel mill which was left for dead is now being rebuilt .. creating jobs for Ohio. Steel mills are not the only job that are being created, construction workers, welders, CDL drivers and many other opportunities can be added to this list. This will not be just a short term economic boost but a long term economic boost for our generation and the coming generations.

A concern with hydraulic fracturing includes, refinery capacity, There are currently only two refineries located close to Ohio, Bradford PA and Newell, WV. According to the EIA there are only 148 refineries that operating in the USA.

Despite some of the concerns people might have and the haters from the liberal media, I am excited to see this energy boom pave a new and exciting way for Ohio's economy!
