      abstract = {Public discourse suggests a lack of consensus in the  United States regarding the environmental impacts of shale  gas development. Newly available shale gas has reduced the  cost of electricity and heating and replaced coal, but  public fears about the environment threaten to curtail  those gains. We designed the first survey-based analysis of  the views of government, industry, academic, and  nongovernmental experts to identify their priorities for  regulation and voluntary action among 264 routine and 14  accidental environmental risk “pathways.” We find that  nongovernmental experts select many more problems but that  there is considerable agreement on the most important ones,  which can guide research, policies, and practices so that  shale gas benefits continue and environmental impacts are  limited.},
