One of my biggest, most hated lies (particularly when spread by Bitcoiners) is that gas flaring is good for the environment. No, no it is not. This is the worst and possibly most successful bit of greenwashing next to single use plastics. Idiots will routinely spout “It’s good that they’re doing this and it’s better than the alternative!” Methane having a much higher GWP than CO2 doesn’t mean gas flaring is “good for the environment”. The real alternative is Flare Gas Recovery Systems (FGRS), which can at least capture the gas rather than wasting it. #ClimateCrisis #greenwashing
