COLUMBUS — The Utica Energy Alliance announced that over 100 businesses and individuals have joined its coalition to support the natural gas and oil industry.

UEA membership includes a diverse group of landowners, community leaders, organizations, businesses and elected officials who understand now, not later, is the time to protect and support Ohio’s shale production and promote American energy independence. Since launching in November, the UEA has been on the forefront of energy policy advocacy and grassroots mobilization for the natural gas and oil industry.

The UEA has built a diverse coalition of voices that span across industries and regions of Ohio, highlighting the fact our energy sector supports all aspects of our economy and communities.

“It’s no surprise that the Utica Energy Alliance has grown so rapidly, speaking with a unified voice for the businesses and communities that rely on the essential energy produced in our state,” said Chris Ventura, Consumer Energy Alliance’s Midwest executive director.

“With gas and diesel prices becoming increasingly burdensome to our families and businesses, Ohioans know that the best way to end this energy crisis and lower gas prices is to bring America’s abundant energy resources to the fight.”
