I think it is worth noting that there is more gas flared on Federal Lands than Private or State land. The mad Munchhausen machine of create a problem and then solve it (or not) is alive and well in Washington DC.
BTW, flaring has been getting hyped now for a few months in the press, no doubt a warmup to yet another assault on the only shining beacons of prosperity in the midst of a Government-imposed economic gloom.
There is no 'problem' that Government cannot take twice as long to solve, at ten times the expense, with only half the job done.
BTW, 'flared' methane combusts--after that, it isn't methane any more.
They’ll just go after the soot produced.. they’re like a charging bull.
