Gas Hydrates in our own back yard

"A future energy source?

At the sea surface, decomposing hydrate feels like cold Alka Seltzer fizzing and popping on your skin. It's fun to light gas hydrates with a match and watch the hydrocarbons burn like a candle, leaving behind only slightly salty water. Watching gas hydrate burn and produce heat shows its value as an energy source. Right now there is worldwide interest in exploiting energy from hydrates."

This very interesting information was sent to me by a correspondent of ours.
