Burning ice. I wonder if methane released during earthquakes in Japan could account for the sightings of flames on approaching tsunamis.

Are they getting John Ross and Christopher from Ewing Energy to exploit the methane?

I wonder what the Japanese is for “There’s something down there...and it’s farting.”

The trouble is that mining methane ice is very risky, as it is close to the temperature of sublimation, and the entire methane ice field could have a chain reaction, resulting in an immense release of methane all at once. This would be bad.

One suggestion was that it would be robotically mined in an artificial Carbon Dioxide atmosphere. As it was removed, it would be replaced with supercooled water that would quickly turn to ice when sprayed into a gap where methane ice had been. This would also help to structurally support the mined area.

Well, Well, Well, Almost daily we get reports about the almost limitless supply of energy available to be exploited right here on the Earth. Yet, we are constantly harassed by chicken little wackos who preach about limited energy and gush ovr false ‘renewable’ energy.
