Combustible Ice

While looking for an article to share in my Environmental Stewardship class, I read about combustible ice.

"Combustible ice, or natural gas hydrate, is mainly found in deep seas and atop plateaus. Approximately one cubic meter of "combustible ice" equals 164 cubic meters of regular natural gas."

Another cool thing about the ice is that because its "ice" it has very low levels of impurities. About 100 countries around the world are looking into the possibility of using it on a wide scale.

China alone, in the territory of Tibet (So, in reality, Tibet owns the ice) China has enough ice to power themselves for 90 years. (Tibet can power its self for upwards of 400 years.)
