Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A petroleum industry has existed in New Brunswick for over 150 years but recent exploration for shale gas has unleashed an unprecedented wave of protest and opposition. This opposition is an international phenomenon that has followed the relatively new shale gas extraction industry from its origins in Texas, across North America and Europe. On the one hand, the extraction of natural gas from shale has increased reserves to the point where North America could become selfsufficient; on the other hand, opponents point to completely new hazards associated with this form of gas production. New Brunswick has the opportunity to devise a regulatory (and enforcement) regime that could minimize risk and maximize the benefits of a shale gas extraction industry. Public engagement in establishing this regime is essential, but the details, as this essay will illustrate, must be based on a rational and factual assessment of risk. Resume L’industrie petroliere existe au Nouveau-Brunswick depuis plus de 150 ans, mais la recente exploration du gaz de schiste a dechaine une vague de protestation et d’opposition sans precedent. Cette opposition est un phenomene international qui a poursuivi l’industrie relativement nouvelle de l’extraction du gaz de schiste, depuis son origine au Texas, dans toute l’Amerique du Nord et jusqu’en Europe. D’un cote, l’extraction du gaz naturel a partir du schiste a accru les reserves au point que l’Amerique du Nord pourrait devenir autosuffisante; d’autre part, les opposants denoncent des risques entierement nouveaux lies a cette forme de production de gaz. Le Nouveau-Brunswick a l’occasion de mettre au point un regime de reglementation (et de mise en œuvre) qui pourrait reduire le risque et maximiser les avantages d’une industrie de l’extraction du gaz de schiste. La participation du public pour mettre ce regime en place est essentielle, mais les details, comme cet article le demontrera, doivent etre fondes sur une evaluation rationnelle et factuelle des risques.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
