Can there be such a thing as waste methane? It says it's "the primary component of natural gas" but "oil producers don’t have the pipelines or the market for the gas". Doesn't compute!?
Yes. Lots of oil wells aren't equipped to collect it, so it's just wasted.

One more thing that could be attended to if we weren't hemorrhaging money on these stupid geopolitical rapes -- Time says $5 trillion so far. One of the reasons originally bandied about for them was "because we need affordable fuel."
