I definitely agree with you on this one patrick....

And I have done a bit of research into the "undersea natural gas hydrates"......

That is a fascinating phenomenon. Deposits are gargantuan but, man, I wouldn't want to be working the rigs that explore for them.

If you drill into a deposit the natural gas will start bubbling to the surface and when this happens your platform loses flotation and sinks. This has already happened to one or two rigs working the North Sea with loss of all hands.

By comparison, nuclear fission is much, much safer.
