Such wastage of resources but the cost that we as consumers pay didn’t go down. It’s all about profits here.

That’s terrible, but maybe if our governments worked with the industry instead of scolding them left and right and telling everyone on earth they are evil incarnate… maybe we could find a solution?
Clearly our world is not functioning anymore. Anyway, probably not the right forum area for politicking, sorry to hear about the waste.
If they really can’t find anything to do with it, ask the US Gov. They have shown themselves to be reliable in ahem, getting rid of unwanted gas pipelines.
