Unit 3 topic

I am considering focusing on the impact the Barnett Shale has on the Greater Fort Worth area during the current economic crisis. Natural gas drilling has received its fair share of support and criticism over the past five years in the area so I thought it might be interesting to see how public perception of the issue has changed with the economic downturn. This topic caught my eye because there has been a drilling site erected next to my home, and I'm constantly passing by or stuck behind eighteen-wheelers carrying equipment to and from the site.
