      1. Yes it is. However the light are the one of gas being flared off, enough gas to power all the homes in Chicago and Washington combined said the Financial Time,
        which explains that
        The flaring is a result, in large part, of the low price of natural gas in North America, which can make it uneconomic to build pipelines and tanks to handle the gas released by oil production. Flaring is often the safest way to dispose of it
        …global warming anyone?
