Marcellus Shale Coalition Unveils New, Interactive Online Headquarters

The new online home of the Marcellus Shale Coalition officially went live this week, with the organization of more than 90 members -- representing the vast majority of shale gas producers throughout the Appalachian region.
            “Engaging, educating and mobilizing the public about  the environmentally responsible and well-regulated development of clean-burning, job-creating natural gas from the Marcellus Shale is absolutely critical,” said Kathryn Klaber, president and executive director of the MSC. “Our new site will serve as a one-stop shop for those interested in learning more about how this once-in-a-generation type of opportunity is creating tens of thousands of good-paying, permanent jobs across the region and delivering affordable, American-made energy to small businesses and families.”
             The new website is an interactive, user-friendly hub of useful information. From fact sheets and economic impact studies, to a grassroots sign-up form – allowing interested parties to become “Friends of Marcellus” – the new site will allow visitors to remain informed on a host of issues and opportunities surrounding shale gas development in the region.
            In addition to social media tools, such as Twitter, the site also features an on-line guest speaker request form, as well as an interactive job portal highlighting the various employment opportunities available throughout the industry.
