Maybe someone can correct my logic. As long as we are drilling for oil, wouldn't the natural gas need to go somewhere anyway? I believe it gets flared if not us

Maybe someone can correct my logic. As long as we are drilling for oil, wouldn't the natural gas need to go somewhere anyway? I believe it gets flared if not used.
ie - we should responsibly use all the excess natural gas rather than flaring it?
- rootusrootus 2y agoLeaking methane to atmosphere is considerably worse for climate change than flaring, I suspect that's the point being made.
- matrix2003 2y agoYeah. That's what I struggle with. However, I guess increasing dependence on methane is not something we want to increase (to encourage more fossil fuel usage).
