Isn’t capturing and then flaring methane the environmentally responsible thing to do?

That'll depend on where the methane is captured from.

A landfill, or reclaimed from cow shit? Sure.

An underground well, where it could've been left alone? Not necessarily.

It's more responsible not to use natural gas, including by reducing energy usage. It's also more responsible to respect the rules made democratically by your fellow citizens then to try to cheat them.

Starship's engines burn methane.
