You twist facts yourself. 

First off, commodity prices are cyclical, just because the prices are down now does not mean that is permanent.  The Petronas deal may be delayed, but it is far from dead. 

Second, why shouldn't we sell any of our natural gas?  We sell other natural resources. By your logic we should be saving all our fish, lumber, gold, zinc, lead, copper, moly etc. for future generations as well. 

As for 'propane' flares, I think YOU should do some learning about how industry works.  I work and have worked at many gas plants and NONE of them, large or small, use C3 in their flare stacks.
