I wonder if these gases that they burn off by flaring could be used to run generators ? instead of wasting it.

The gas burning on the top of the oil rigs helps suck out the oil below it. I’ll bet it would cost more to try and capture it than burning it off the way they do. If its one thing oil companies don't like to do its throw away profits.

Don’t you think that the prudent thing to do would be to test the well to see if you can commercially produce it before you spend millions to put in a pipeline? But that’s me. I am an investor, and I don’t agree with hillary’s policies.
