North Dakota At Night


I was viewing a NASA image of the U.S. at night (above) and noticed that there appeared to be a large metropolitan area out in western North Dakota. So I googled a query about are the Dakota oilfields lit up at night. I quickly discovered that there were numerous links about  how bright the fields are; how much gas is being "flared off"; the amounts of energy being wasted; not to mention heat and CO2 directly input into the atmosphere.  Examples below, as well as a brief blurb from one of the links about this phantom megalopolis.
