’ More significant is the fact that gas hydrates concentrate 164 times the energy of the same amount of natural gas.

And gas hydrate fields are found in abundance under the coastal waters of every continent. Calculations suggest there’s more energy in gas hydrates than in coal, oil and conventional gas combined.’

Wow.

I don't recall seeing that before. If they mean 164 times the energy per volume then piping the stuff should be more than viable.
