this article gives me hope. researchers have found a deposit of methane hydrate, which contain 164 times the energy of natural gas in the same quantity – and, and, and – the amount of these gas hydrates worldwide “dwarf all known fossil fuel deposits combined.” take that, peak oil bullshit! oh, and these hydrate deposits are under a northwest Canadian territory, so the u.s. may be less inclined to bomb them for it.
