Lanza's Mother was a Doomsday Prepper

For years, the shale industry has touted the economic benefits it can provide: An overflowing supply of domestic natural gas will help keep heating and electric bills low for American consumers, they argue, while drilling jobs and astounding royalty windfalls for landowners will reinvigorate local economies.
