No Gas Shale Drilling
High Gas Shale Resource
2035 Henry Hub Spot Price(2008 $/MMBtu) $8.88 $10.37 $7.62
2035 Total Onshore Lwr. 48 Gas Production (Tcf) 23.3 19.1 25.9
2035 Total U.S. Net Imports (Tcf) 1.5 3.7 0.8
Sensitivity Cases for AEO2010Reference: Drilling moves ahead at current pace, unproved shale gas resource 347 TcfNo Gas Shale Drilling: No new onshore, lower 48 shale drilling after 2009High Gas Shale Resource: Unproved shale gas resources increased to 652 Tcf

Public Outreach Challenges· Finding ways to promote regulations that are science-
based and reflect true costs and benefits How to collect and analyze data needed to develop science-
based regulations in a competitive, high-cost environment How to quantify potential future costs and benefits
· Finding ways to support an informed debate in an environment of misinformation
How to build public trust in objective assessments of risks How to carry out public outreach in a way that reaches the
widest possible audience with accurate information How to engage constituencies with diametrically opposed
viewpoints

Standing Still is Not an Option· Get out the facts … via websites,
publications, commercials, community meetings … whatever works
· Promote reasonable, compromise solutions to address community concerns
· Pursue collaborative research and development (industry, academia, and government) in support of science-based regulations
· Maintain transparency and public accountability
· Participate in joint public/private investment in workforce training to reduce accidents
