Perhaps. But I just wanted to say that I did see the sight of these five or six flares going on at that refinery full-blast one day several years ago, and it did look like pretty much like this. It was an insanely rare sight, and it’s why I took notice. Years upon years go by without this kind of visual scenario. That’s why the photo is wildly misleading. It’s like taking a picture of a hurricane landing and equating it as though it were normal everyday weather.

I worked for a contractor at that refinery (when it was Texaco) one summer in the 1980s. Worked as a laborer. I dug ditches, and scraped rust off of the high-rise pipes for the paint crew.
