12.05 pm — You can dislike the energy source itself, you can dislike the technology used in extraction, but the fact is the oil and gas industry are creating jobs.
“… American Petroleum Institute has released a new study … demonstrating that the oil and natural gas industry supported 9.8 million American jobs in 2011…
an increase of more than 600 000 jobs in two years. Findings indicate that the industry now supports 8% of the US economy, up from 7.7% in 2009.”
