I read a few articles the other night that questioned 1) the denisty of deposits and 2) practicality of recovery Suppose the only way to recover it was found to require keeping it pressurized or frozen?? My guess is there are significant problems from an energy standpoint which affect whether it can be economic at any price or someone would already be at it. Fuel cells are a niche technology -- for a very small niche -- the idea of a hydrogen economy is complete BS (i.e. "hydrogoen economy" meaning not nat gas or oil -- if you hydrolize water -- you are simply changing the form of the energy and you have the conversion penalty). Fuel cells are only energy conversion devices -- nothing more -- they aren't a new source. My point was that the hype about fuel cells is just that, hype, and methane hydrates may be the same. I just don't know yet.
