The flare has gone out at times, resulting in fluid from the well spreading a mist into the sky over a mile away.

Anthem, Chevron, FedEx, Pfizer and others attended an ALEC meeting shortly after signing a much-lauded ethics statement.
Bans are meaningless if you continue to build infrastructure to transport fracked gas from other states.
The majority of new natural gas production over the past decade came from North America, though the impacts are global.
