Why put it out?
Use that heat to create electricity. One way is to heat salt (it’s a desert) to operate a steam generator.
Yeah, there’d be a power line involved to get that electricity to where it needs to go, but it’s a “free” energy source.
My thoughts as well. Right now its not bothering anyone. If you put it out all that gas will go strait into the atmosphere. Which is dangerous and really worse for the environment.
