We know that natural gas is not a problem when they want to ban stoves, but at night on the https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus.php?sat=G16
You can see NW North Dakota and SE New Mexico lit up with flaring gas wells.
Natural gas is way too valuable as a commodity to be frivolously flaring.
In the 1950s, one of my grandfathers was manager of a natural gas plant in NE Texas in the Longview, Kilgore and Gladewater triangle. It upgraded raw natural gas direct from the oil fields to pipeline commercial grade. Propane and butane were contaminants sent to flare at the time. Ethane was shipped by rail to petrochemical plants for plastics production.
So one day, granddad called his boss in Tulsa and said boss, there's this crazy guy down here that wants to buy my propane. It would take $xx to upgrade tower 2 to pull off a propane fraction and add piping and controls at the rail and truck tanker loading docks. Boss gave him the $$$. Company made a nice profit.
A while later, granddad call his boss again. Boss, you know that crazy guy buying all my propane? Now he wants all the butane. Can I get more $$$ for more tower 2 modifications and new piping at the tanker loading docks? Boss gave him the $$$. Company made more profit.
