A small pollution containment chamber, known as the top hat, is loaded onto the deck of the motor vessel Gulf Protector at Wild Well Control Inc. in Port Fourchon, Louisiana May 10, 2010. The chamber will be used in an attempt to contain an oil leak that was caused by the mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon explosion. Picture taken May 10, 2010.

I find it interesting that the MSM has taken to calling the methane hydrate slush “ice”. Well it is not “ice”. However, it is evidence of another source of usable hydrocarbons, one that the USGS wrote, “The worldwide amounts of carbon bound in gas hydrates is conservatively estimated to total twice the amount of carbon to be found in all known fossil fuels on Earth.”
Maybe it is just too hard for the MSM to use the accurate and instead finds the inaccurate word easier to tell the public. Or maybe they don’t want the public to be aware that because of hydrates, the supply of hydrocarbon fuels is practically unlimited.
