I read a small article in either the WSJ or maybe it was the Financial Times on Japanese discovery of and hope for methane hydrates a couple of months ago. Just read the following article in Atlantic Monthly yesterday - food for thought:
"Together, fracking and a little known energy source called methane hydrate - flammable ice - may soon usher in an age of widespread energy independence. In many respects, this would be a miracle. It also might unleash an arc of instability stretching from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to Siberia - and doom any hope of halting climate change."
