Why doesn't someone invent a way to capture and utilize, all the wasted NATURAL GAS, being BURNED off, at OIL REFINERIES ?????? There must be a way to do this! If we can blast off into SPACE, surely, we could STOP this terrible WASTE.

$$$$$ They just want to max out the profit. There is too little income in methane vs oil. It is a broken world. (Our family cars run on locally produced biomethane, no money to oil oligarchs.)

You're right about the oil companies, no confusion there, but I will continue to push the question, and MAYBE, someday, a miracle will happen, and the waste, will be eliminated.🤣👍🤞🙏🇺🇲🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽

Perfectly hypocritical, as always. Uneconomical to capture, but sure has value when it's sold to consumers. Also, this isn't a huge amount on a national scale, but would adding that lower the market price of existing supply? Win win for oil Co.
