Environment - "Ohio gov.-elect eyes gas riches of Marcellus Shale"

Following up on yesterday's ILB entry re the new Ohio governor's naming of an IDEM official to head the Ohio environmental agency, the WSJ today has this AP story that begins:

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov.-elect John Kasich on Thursday said natural gas drilling in a geological formation that stretches into Ohio could boost the state's economy by attracting businesses and helping to put skilled workers back on the job.

If large deposits of natural gas were found by drilling in the Marcellus Shale, Ohio could see big opportunities, Kasich said at a news conference to announce his picks to lead two state agencies.

The ILB has had a number of entries on the Marcellus Shale gas boom.
