Isn't that crazy? I remember reading about this a long time ago. I could never understand why they're just letting burn out and go to waste.

About a mile from our home in tennessee there are 2 pipes that come out of the ground that constanly are shooting flames to burn off remaining gas, and I believe there are a few out towards orient. Not sure why they just let it burn.

What are they supposed to do? Trap it in balloons?

 

The efforts to save the gas would probably be more expensive than just burning it. Plus, they burn it so that large amount of gas doesn't kill everything near the hole.
