Thanks. On the subject of gas flaring, here's a sneak peek at something we're working on here at Oil Change: "In Iraq, experts say, the amount of gas flaring appeared to be related to the US invasion in 2003, citing an increase in 2004 to 8.3 billion cubic meters, up from 6.7 billion the year before. Since 2004, the amount of flaring has decreased slightly, but still remains roughly double the amount from 1995, during the early years of sanctions against Saddam Hussein's government." Great, great post Andy. Thanks.
