It probably is making money as a tourist attraction. The bigger problem is that the gas is being burned without giving any benefit (other than tourists). If they extract the gas and burn it for energy, they benefit from it. That is better economically, but it is also better environmentally.
No you are making things up… this is only a tiny fraction of natural gas being extracted and was deemed not worth the investment to extract… It is a practice done all over the world, only weird thing about this is that it became a large sinkhole.
Gas seeps through the dirt, even if they extinguished the fire, methane is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. That's why it's left burning. They need to find a way to stop the gas from leaking out or maybe extract the gas for proper use.
Extinguish the flames and put a dome over it connected to a big pipe. Free fuel. If there isn't a city nearby that can use it there soon will be. Won't take long.
Excellent idea. I remember reading a couple of year ago that Kazakhstani people were demonstrating in the streets because their fuel (I guess electricity) bills had doubled overnight. I know it's a different country, but it's obviously an important issue in the region. Natural resources like that could benefit the people, could they not?
this sounds like the other genius idea of the scientist that said "hey let us dump thousands of rubber tires into the ocean, it will help create reef. lol
First of all it's the 2nd world, but also what do you propose they do instead? It was an accident. Burning it is MUCH better than not burning it, and nobody knows how to seal it yet.
But there will be a domestic tourism industry. So stop being sarcastic. People can't help where they are born, or usually how they are governed and what their economy and infrastructure are like. They make the best of what they have.

You don't want to just put it out, which is what lots of water would do, because then methane gas unburned will just float into the atmosphere. And methane gas is like 80x worse of a greenhouse gas than CO2 (burnt methane) is
Turkmenistan richest country in the world. energy 100% free 4 the people. Sorry wikipedia wrong luxemberg or qatar, dubai is not richest country in the world.
i dont know about that. However, under the assumption that CO2 causes global warming, volcanoes naturally produce way more CO2 than any amount of chinese coal power plants. Raising taxes in canada isnt going to change the nature of a volcano.
@@maciejnowak666 that's just not true. Like you straight up are just wrong. Like I can't even argue with that in the same way I can't argue with someone who says that the moon is bigger than the sun. It's just not true

You should make it a vacation spot for Klaus Schwab and the entire World Economic Forum.
Are you implying they aren't the ones who lit it on fire and have a secret tunnel entrance underneath it?
Yes, toss any who have ever attended inside.
Great idea
Why don’t they drag a huge boiler tank over it, produce steam, spin a turbine, and generate electricity.
nice man, pretty smart
cause that would cost a lot, and would result in a really inefficient power plant
@@daydodog exactly, I am from Turkmenistan ))
filthy rich they have more gas than entire north america
Something along those lines world be very intelligent...better yet...make robots run it!!!!
why not redirect the heat and generate electricity?
Filthy rich
They are still going to burn the gas whether it's sealed or not, the only problem is that it does not make Turkmenistan any money in its current state

Trudeau and Putin should both fight in the pit and the loser gets sealed in the pit.
Uh oh 🇹🇲
Or we can toss all commies like yourself in there for making everything political. Like good little politburo officers you are.
Our lovely PM Trudeau will with all due respect….Will Get his a** handed to him
Trudeau will lose the match against Putin and then Trudeau will be stock in hell for good
I get it because they are both leaders of communist countries
Probably the biggest natural gas pocket ever and they’re just letting it burn?
Yes, hahahahaha. That is so funny
No you are making things up… this is only a tiny fraction of natural gas being extracted and was deemed not worth the investment to extract… It is a practice done all over the world, only weird thing about this is that it became a large sinkhole.
imagine having a funding to close it and build a foundation and equipment to capture the natural gas, then in just a few months the gas runs out. 😂
Go on, say where the fire is.
I don't understand your joke.
@@mcfly7 *and I don't understand your face. Get the hell out of here Satan*
Looks pretty amazing
If one person took an old shovel and filled up the hole with dirt it would have been plugged in less than 25 years.
Gas seeps through the dirt, even if they extinguished the fire, methane is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. That's why it's left burning. They need to find a way to stop the gas from leaking out or maybe extract the gas for proper use.
But methane would still leak
They’ve obviously tried to bury it. That crater used to be way deeper
Took them 50 years to make up their mind
They know exactly what they are doing. Take a look around Turkmenistan, it's very new.
After Taco Bell be like
we have 2 major pits like this burning. How do they affect CO2 around the world?
that thing is less than a single airport for one day. you have no idea about scale lol.
@@5GTrevor Really? How can we have any idea about scale? Can you be specific? Any links?

Just woa, that’s deep
Does it ever rain here??
Do you know there is a deserted town in USA that has been smouldering for decades? It's called Centralia, I think in NJ or NY? Surely it rains there!
Why don’t they just fill it up with dirt?

Why the hell is that place not a power plant?????
Why is it not put to better use, this is absolute waste of natural resource...ridiculous
And some people are worried about the flames out of petrochemical chimney flares.
I believe it was gas with no fire initially...until...
It's well documented the fire was started by the Russian geologists to burn the methane, no need for belief, it's a fact.
What a genius
Whoa! Don't stop me now!
imagine this was in the middle east a thousand years ago
That was the reason for climate change not our gas emission from the cars !

Should start charging the gates of hell a Carbon tax for all them emissions its been releasing.
they dont want other country to invest that natural gas because they know they might be the next target of uncle sam
I feel like this isn’t the time for this
"...its still bad." yet no explanation. There is no reason to close it.
what happens if you will it with water ? will the Methan gas burn on the Surface ? ^^
Gas will just continue to come out cause more burning
