North Dakota really shows up with the gas flairs Yep. Seems like they are gonna quit that. I hope so. They have to burn that off don't they? They can't just let it vent can they?

No, they cant vent it.
Why not gather it instead?

Profit James?
Cost more to gather it and send it wherever than it does to burn it off?
Adding more to the 'pipeline' might just get the price too low for all concerned?
I could almost guarantee, if they could make $0.01 final profit on each 1000cf they are burning off, they'd be shipping it somewhere to burn in someone's furnace or stove.

If you want to see dark skies, sail west from Hawaii about halfway to Japan. Amazing starlight!

Some of it is sour correct? I don't know, but you're right it would seem using it would be a great option. Maybe it's a money thing.

Why do they call it light 'pollution'? Shouldn't they relabel it to 'evidence of civilization'?
It takes a village to raise an idiot.

Why do they call it light 'pollution'? Shouldn't they relabel it to 'evidence of civilization'? for some (many?) of us, too much light used indiscriminately is not very "civil". Honestly, I think one could go around with a BB gun and shoot out a good 50% of the lights burning for no reason in the cities, even in the country, and no one would be the worse off. I especially dislike those newfangled electric billboards that are so bright they are a distraction. We even have on out here in the dark spaces at a local gas station.

The best is to get some elevation on a cold night after a wet front has washed everything. Amazing how bright the sky can be.
By the way, did anyone score the northern lights last night? I missed.

I ask someone in the oil field that same question. I guess natural gas prices are so low it's cheaper to burn it than capture and sell it. They claimed they needed pipelines to make it feasible and even then the volume was so low it might not break even.
