I hadn't heard of this. Do they just allow the gas to go into the atmosphere instead? I've always heard that's worse than burning it

Did they require the methane be captured? I thought flare-offs were done because the methane gas is something like 1000x worse than the CO2.

flare-offs are much better than releasing raw methane into the atmosphere because methane is a much worse greenhouse gas than CO2

They still do it in North Dakota
