Trying to stop responsible, safe energy development in our region could threaten potential new jobs and millions in potential new revenues.
According to state data, more than 14,000 Ohio companies are tied to natural gas and oil development. All told, Ohio’s natural gas and oil industry supports more than a quarter-million jobs.
Without a doubt, the natural gas and oil industry is one of our state’s most successful industries. We have the potential to continue adding energy jobs and growing our economy, with salaries ranging around $88,682 a year, nearly 40 percent over the statewide average.
Don’t listen to fear from anti-energy activists. We owe it to our communities, our families and future generations to welcome energy development to our region.
