We all know how gasoline prices have shot up. Supposedly because there is a shortage of crude oil. But...... When was the last time you heard talk of an energy shortage? Probably does not ring a bell, because there has not been talk about an energy shortage in quite a while. Why not? The reason is a substance called Methane Ice. It turns out that there is more energy trapped in methane ice than all the known oil, coal and natural gas put together. How much more? Perhaps even twice as much energy. What is methane? Natural gas is primarily methane, and there are plenty of busses and cars running on that at the moment. Where do you find Methane Ice? Apparently on almost all coastal shelves at depths greater than 600 feet. What is it? It is water that has methane gas trapped in it. Despite the fact that methane is a greenhouse gas, little is ever said about any possible 'global warming' effects of natural releases from undersea deposits. But, when methane is released into the atmosphere, it quickly decomposes into carbon dioxide! Now while the sky is falling environmentalists are hollering about carbon dioxide, they say little about methane coming from the ocean. But, atmospheric methane is rising faster than carbon dioxide. What are natual sources of methane? Swamps and gas expelled from bovine animals. Seen any wetlands increasing lately? These facts are not secret, just not much presented to you by the Ministry of Truth (your TV station).
