ENERGY - US Dept. of Energy exploring Methane Hydrate resources in Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and elsewhere

The U.S. Government is supporting research into developing Methane Hydrate "resources". A month ago I reported on a joint project between the Dept. of Energy and the State of Alaska to develop methane hydrate resources in Alaska's North Slope, as well as tar sands deposits in that area. Today there is a press release from the Dept. of Energy about an exploratory trip in the Gulf of Mexico
