Yes, I understand how that works. And I am STRONG pro fracking. But, with our new Gov., I think he is going to cause a harder bust by driving the gas companies out of PA. Once the infrastructure is in place, only maintenance crews are needed. But, if drilling is no longer profitable, we all loose.
You need to understand there is more to Natural Gas production than just a well.
The Natural Gas processing plants and compressor stations hire skilled labor, keep local supply and machine shops busy, etc.
Not just increased Natural Gas for lower heating, more power plants, lowered cost of electricity, but also local production of propane, ethane, drive additional business.
