Economic-geographical features of «shale revolution» in the USA
Abstract
The article considers the features of the shale revolution in the USA that led to the significant changes in fuel and energy complex of the country. The research based on the original sources and statistical data concluded that technological breakthrough in oil and gas production led to a significant increase in supply in the U.S. energy market, resulting in considerable structural and territorial shifts in the production and consumption of energy resources and other important implications: conditions were created for reindustrialization in the USA, the competitiveness of the national economy has increased.
