Anti-hydraulic fracturing protests in many parts of the country show that the development of shale-gas can provoke local controversy. Much of the “protest” in other states has been after the fact when shale gas exploration and production is already underway. Although shale gas development may be years away, Massachusetts has an opportunity now to be ahead on awareness and information if, and when, the time comes for shale-gas development in the Connecticut Valley area. Right now, a potential shale-gas basin in central Massachusetts has been identified but has not yet been targeted for exploration or had its potential reserves quantified.
