"negative pricing" sounds like they'll pay me to use it, if only I would just use it. I can see that's not your intent, but I suspect that's the first reading of many.

They literally would pay you to use it, if you would go to the trouble of taking it off their hands. There are legal restrictions on those gas flares now, so they can't just burn all of it like they used to.
