Is this really disgusting? There's very little context given at any point during the article. My understanding is there are around 85,000,000 barrels produced per day globally. Is ND now responsible for 10% more gas being burned globally? 0.5%? It's great that it shows up at night but there's a reason they have to circle the thing. It still pales in comparison to the intensity of Chicago nearby let alone the East Coast or Bay Area. Fracking worries me and the wild west mentality that shows up whenever there are quick riches - be it energy, internet stocks or real estate - always leads to an ugly hangover. I just think it's better to take a step back and wonder about context vs getting sucked straight to this point.
