Unconventional oil and natural gas extraction enabled by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is driving an economic boom, with consequences described from“revolutionary”to“disastrous.”Reality lies somewhere in between.Unconventional energy generates income and,donewell, canreduce air pollution and even water use compared with other fossilfuels.
