Growth in shale energy will mean more investment, production, and jobs in the energy sector itself. Lower gas prices will boost manufacturing production, particularly in downstream industries like petrochemicals and primary metals that use natural gas as fuel and feedstock.
页岩能源的增长意味着能源部门本身的更多的投资、产量和就业岗位。气价下降将提振制造业产量，特别是石化产品和以天然气为燃料和投入品的初级金属等下游行业。
