Here is a (very) rough outline that I came up with when I started to think about what questions I wanted to address in my section.
- Description of the process
- How is fracking done?
- What technologies are used?
- What technologies are on the horizon?
- In what situations is fracking necessary? Why?
- History of fracking
- Potential Supplies
- What does fracking unlock?
- What are the locations and sizes of the plays in the US?
- What effect will these supplies have on the possibility of American energy independence?
- What will be the economic effects of exploiting these supplies?
Let me know if you can think of anything else I should look at or if there is anything in the outline that you think I should leave out. I know that the last 2 bullet points especially could overlap with Blaise's section, but I wasn't sure if he was focusing solely on Ohio or not and I think it's important to address those issues somewhere in the paper.
I really like that you are looking towards the future, i.e. What technologies are on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteAs for the last two points, I was aiming to analyze the potential for cheap natural gas on out energy use, so that is something we can talk about more once we get a little more info.
