This could have been delayed easily and no one would have had a clue.
What does this say about his estimate of the politics of this?
Is he gonna say this drilling is a Green Job?
He is going to use this to tell the world how he is serious about going after all forms of energy and this is a great NEW source....
And quietly he will tell those concered about environmental damage and the fishies...just cool it..."I will have more Flexibility after I am reelected"!!
BTTT!
“The department said it would likely be years before production of methane hydrates becomes economically viable. Secretary Chu said in his statement, “While this is just the beginning, this research could potentially yield significant new supplies of natural gas.”
This of course, is the key to Chu’s love of the process. It’s not coming for decades. As soon as it becomes practical and economic, the left everywhere will be violently opposed to Methane Hydrates.
Thanks Ernest. Zero will make a major policy-shift speech about this, saying we must move beyond a modern society.
Also thanks neverdem for the additional ping.
