They burn it
They crank the flares up and burn the excess
Fucking hooligans.
Is there some reason they can't just stop pumping it until demand recovers?
They crank it right down to minimum, but they can't stop the well completely,
so they crank the flare up and burn the excess
If environmentalists want to do some real good, they should focus on trying to reduce waste in the oil industry instead of trying to shut it down via government intervention

So far the COVID cases in our county have slowed since we've locked down
64 cases confirmed in the county, all in four healthcare facilities
No actual signs of community spread here yet
Asheville does not seem to be in exponential growth right now either. Thank fuck for the TDS of the liberals. When Trump was talking shit about how this is like the flu and it will magically go away by April, they decided it must be completely fucking lethal and started preparing. The county was locked down before the rest of the state.
They've even said that the initial outbreak at the hospital here is contained at 25 cases, no new cases since

And yeah, Saud and Russia took this as an opportunity to crush the US Shale guys, right out of the gate. Oil was trading at $10/barrel last week. They'll stop when shale waves the white flag.
tl;dr: the politicians warning against "panic" talked themselves into complacency, failing to develop and distribute tests in anticipation for their epidemics, and failing to secure basic PPE their own experts warned them they would need. Little to no contact tracing and retarded AF ideas about "herd immunity" plans.
