Dimiter Kenarov Brings Focus on Shale Gas to Ohio University

Shale gas. Fracking. Energy independence. Environmental concerns. Pulitzer Center grantee journalist Dimiter Kenarov covers these topics in his reporting project "Shale Gas: From Poland to Pennsylvania," which examines the promises and the controversies surrounding the extraction of this natural resource.

Join Kenarov at Ohio University on Monday, February 25 for a discussion of the new energy frontier in the United States and Eastern Europe. “Shale gas has become something to everyone. In the last few years, no other energy topic has managed to garner so much global attention and generate so much controversy,” writes Kenarov. “Politicians, business people, economists, scientists, environmentalists, journalists, and citizens have all joined in the fray, each one with their own view on the subject. Some have called shale gas ‘a game changer’ and a path to energy independence and economic revival. Others have looked closely at the environmental dangers of hydraulic fracturing…and our continued dependence on fossil fuels.”
