Change in the topic

I think that my topic has changed a bit. I originally started with natural gas drilling and now I believe it to be to choose between oil and natural gas drilling depending on the pros and cons of each one of them. The trouble that I had with my sources is that they were all primary sources that just had bulletins with information that I found hard to do analysis on.

Research: sources

My sources are all primary sources. I have gotten information that I could use in my research from internet sources. I have found sources from the company's side, an article written by an organization against drilling, and I have been looking for an actual bill passed by the federal government in order to to get the the perspective coming from the government, but I have yet to be successful. I have not yet chosen on how to arrange them because I need more sources to cover that part.

Research

As I go through some sources that I could possibly use, I have narrowed my search to oil and natural gas drilling. This is because natural gas and oil go hand in hand and a lot of the sources refer to them as if they were the same thing so that is how I plan on using them on my research paper. People who have experience with this issue are politicians and and the companies that do the drilling. The people who are impacted by it is everyone. This is because it either effects us personally, economically, health wise, etc. The people talking about the issue are many politicians, average American citizens, and every once in a while the media. Some primary sources would be actual government bills, some documantation from actual companies, and possibly first hand experience.

Unit 2 Topic

For my topic for this unit, I have chosen to use the restrictions on alternative energy resources put on by the United States government.



People who would know about these restrictions would be government officials and people who work for the companies that provide alternative resources like natural gas, solar power, nuclear power, wind power. The issue would impact everyone in the country. The price for living the way we live now would decrease an enormous amount which would definitely make everyone happy, especially with the current harsh times.



I believe that everyone, including average people are talking about it since it does effect everyone that is part of the United States.

A primary source that would give me insight is the actual document passed by congress. Companies that work at trying to find resources may also give me some insight into this.
