Where will Shell construct it’s new natural gas “cracker” plant to take advantage of the Marcellus Shale natural gas boom??? Pennsylvania? Ohio? West Virginia? All three states are rolling out the red carpet in hopes of landing the project which will bring an estimated 12,000 construction jobs and up to 8000 permanent jobs. West Virginia lawmakers are proposing a 25% tax break incentive to lure the project. Pennsylvania legislators, including Senators Toomey and Casey, are pushing their state for the facility. Ohio officials have met with Shell officials to promote their state. Shell is in the process of making its decision and the stakes for jobs and economic benefits could not be higher.
