In Denton, Texas, a college town north of Dallas that sits atop the Barnett Shale formation, the fight over a referendum banning fracking within city limits is in the finalย stretch.

The local ballot initiative has global implications, with the energy sector watchingย closely.

The turmoil in Denton reflects a growing national debate between those concerned with health and quality of life issues,ย and others who claimย the fracking industry is Americaโ€™s answer to economic growth and energyย independence.
