Having discussed horizontal drilling with friends in the business, it is NOT the same as fracking. Horizontal drilling is literally what it is named for. You can use it to, for example, lay down utility piping at specific depths without requiring an expensive and invasive excavation. It doesn’t involved hydraulic fracturing, a newer technique, most of the time. This article seems to mention fracking to leverage negative sentient against fracking to support the story morally. I’m disappointed because Vice used to be so much better than this in its earlier days.
