april fools or do you have a reference to frozen methane?

would that this were true about frozen methane mixed with water beneath the ocean floor, but the freezing point of methane is -182.5 degrees centigrade. the boiling point of methane at atmospheric pressure is -162.5 degrees centigrade. it is not way cold beneath the ocean floor. it is hot just like on land deep below the continental shelf. check out hot springs, arkansas for a classic. are you saying the ocean life is flatulating down there?

if you have some references about the frozen methane subject, please post them.

Haim: Thanks. You may be interested to know that Japan was the first to try to mine the Methane Hydrate frozen crystals. That experiment with the Mining experiment to harvest Manganese modules did not prove economical.

Nevertheless, there is a source of Energy there which has potential. It appears that harnessing the wind and Sun at higher effeciencies may be more rewarding.
