1. Journal #3

I think the best way to explain my research for this topic is narrow down it to a plan. To as who and where I'm going to interview and what articles, and facts I'm going to find out during my research. My motivation for doing this writing assignment is that I'm really curious of why natural gas companies really move away from the region for which is drilling and doing really well from. Then I'm focusing on one town in particular; Grand Junction, CO. This is what affects my understanding for my research, is it politics that come into play? Is it the gas rights? Could it be wildlife and more of an environmental issue? Could there be other things that come into play like new fuel alternatives?
What has happened in the past is Grand Junction had really good gas pockets, and I think they still do. But way back in the 1980's the same thing happened as it did now. The present is that there is still drilling but it has declined dramatically by at least 65 to 70 percent in the past year and a half. The future is I think it all comes down to cost effectiveness and how deep the gas pockets really are. Politics such as state may have a little to do with it, but I predict with my research that it will come down to.
