Hydraulic Fracturing Energy Opportunity

Harvard Business School's Michael Porter and the Boston Consulting Group are out with a new report, America's Unconventional Energy Opportunity, that is very much worth a look for those interested in economic policy or energy investing. Conservatives won't like the fact that it calls for a "carbon charge" — a euphemism for a tax — or a cap-and-trade system. The rest of the report focuses on the economic growth opportunity in the U.S. domestic natural gas and oil industry and the potential for exports.
