[Robert A Cook PE]

You can, of course, expect rending of garments and great wailing and gnashing of teeth from the greenies among us, whose most fervent dream is a world populated by a few million starving wretches sitting huddled around fires of buffalo dung. Burning these methyl hydrates produces methane, a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

And more accessible energy then, which "also" produces greenhouse gasses, right? Hmmmn. Can anybody recall a recent debate about banning and restricting and socializing international sea floor technology and resources?

Nothing radical, of course, just “Law of the Sea” or some such. Nothing important about the US signing away (to the UN, African dictatorships, china, and everybody in any 3rd world nation anywhere that wants in on the “free action” of undersea future energy sources .....
