Gullion focuses on fracking in the Barnett Shale, the natural gas-rich geological formation under the Dallas, Fort Worth metroplex. She gives voice to the residents - for the most part educated, middle class, and politically conservative - who became reluctant anti-drilling activists in response to perceived environmental and health threats posed by fracking.
