[quote:Deplorableduckhunter:MV8zNTI5NDAyXzYzMDUxNTI4XzdDRTJDMEI2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 72008156:MV8zNTI5NDAyXzYzMDQ5MzkzX0Y0OURCRDE4] These are methane clathrates, not "flammable ice". Why do people feel the need to dumb things down? And this is dangerous: if a mass of clathrates was destabilized by such mining, it could inject gigatonnes of methane into the atmosphere. [b]Methane is a far more powerful greenhouse gas[/b] than CO2, although it's not as long-lived. And if you burn it, it still yields CO2. We need nuclear fusion urgently. Good luck china citizen you gonna need it [/quote] Yup. Better let that sleeping dog lie. [/quote]

China has successfully mined flammable ice at sea after nearly two decades of research work.
The flammable ice was discovered in the South China Sea in 2007.
According to Chinese state run Xinhua, one cubic metre of combustible ice is equal to 164 cubic metres of natural regular gas.

Fucking fire ice.
