Bullshit, Dallas Woodhouse/Americans for Prosperity. Highly skilled workers will be brought in from OUTSIDE North Carolina, like with the poorly managed Medicaid contract.

Perdue vetoes controversial fracking bill
http://www.wral.com/news/state/nccapitol/story/11269702/

It's the second time Perdue has stopped legislation that would move the state toward fracking. Last year, she vetoed a proposal with far fewer safeguards. Republican leaders have not yet been able to override that veto.

Perdue has vetoed two other major bills in recent days – the Racial Justice Act repeal, and the state budget. Lawmakers are expected to attempt to override all three vetoes Monday or Tuesday.
