Of note: Gas requires a pipeline. Take a look at some recent well-meaning protests around pipelines; they've likely had the opposite of the desired effect.

"Son, this is where your ancestors were buried, but we're not quite sure what happened to their remains after the oil company scraped the top few feet of soil in the 2026 oil spill cleanup and 'remediated' with clean soil imported from somewhere else."
Obviously it'd be best if we didn't use any hydrocarbons for burning, but the alternatives to pipelines in the current economy are:
* Flare the gas off, instant C02
* Train crashes
* Increase well head pressures creating an explosion hazard (and if it blows, you now have a oil well fire)
* Put it through older pipelines engineered to safety standards of the 1950s
