It could take a minute or so to download.

A big "thank you" to Don for the link.

KXNews reports the story:
A University of North Dakota researcher says that about 270 oil wells are responsible for 60 percent of all the natural gas flaring in the state.
Chad Wocken is a senior research manager at UND's Energy and Environmental Research Center.
Wocken says there is no "silver bullet" to cut the amount of natural gas that oil drilling companies are burning and wasting instead of capturing. He says the center is exploring the efficiency of different methods to capture gas in remote sites.
