There is certainly a lot of potential for the Marcellus Shale industry, however drilling is not worth jeopardizing the environment and surrounding communities.

    This is a really strong working thesis. As you continue researching, I'd like you to include into this statement:
    - What type of potential is there for the MS industry? Financial, right?
    - How will the drilling jeopardize the environment and how do the costs outweigh the benefits particularly?

    Your thesis will end up looking more like this:

    "There is certainly incredible financial potential for the drilling of the Marcellus Shale, boasting a profit of X dollars to the Y industry. However, the costs of drilling seem to far outweigh the financial benefits. After A, B, and C (damages to the environment and surrounding communities) are considered, drilling of the Marcellus Shale proves to be a costly endeavor."

    Or something of the like. Good luck!
