lol we have so much gas they burn it off to get rid of it. Go to west Texas at night and you will see the flames rising into the air.
It doesn’t automatically follow that our prices won’t go up this winter if Asian demand surges.
Shhh..we have to pretend we are running out. so we can return to the leftard’s glory days of “peak oil” and energy dependence.
Natural gas is a byproduct of oil production. It is cheaper to burn it at the wellhead than it is to try and collect it to sell. If natural gas prices increase, then it will be economical to collect more of it. We have a tremendous amount of known gas reserves that are just not economical to produce at current prices.
Yes, but those wells are drilling for oil. They can capture the gas, but then someone has to invest in pipelines, separation capacity, condensers, etc...
Is it worth it - even if we didn't have the wacko-green-left in charge in Washington?
