burning the oil is better for the environment than letting the oil spill everywhere. Leaving your lights on requires more energy production

Oil on fire is predictable. There is actually less risk, also better for environment.

the burnt oil is less damaging than the oil itself. Burnt, nature can take care of it easier. Whole, nature will be fucked for eons.

My guess is this is either: Burning off methane, from a movie, or video of Iraqis setting wells on fire during their retreat from Kuwait.

It may be Iraq, hard to tell. But it's our boys (prolly boots and coots) stopping a blowout.

I don't think they do. The Kuwaiti oil fires were started as a scorched earth policy by Iraq.

They do however burn off natural gas, because it's worse for the atmosphere than the bits of CO from partial combustion.

And it's not always economically practical to store/sell the natural gas when drilling for oil.
