The world will be bereft of all fossil fuels by, well, TOMORROW! It
will it will it will! Only expensive, brutally imposed, hopelessly
futile conservation *efforts* can save us! No Enviro-whiner will
tolerate expanding the fossil fuel pool by 300%. We are doomed,
goddamn it! Don't you dare monkey with our divine tax-exempt destiny.

Methane hydrate doesn't exist. Unknown dangers of mining methane
hydrate. Benthic ecological travesties from despoiling fragile and
enangered methane hydrate environments. The Metehane Hydrate Effect.
The National War on Methane Hydrate. I want to see thousands of
strongly worded petitions swamping our politicians. Save Our Children
from Methane Hydrate!

If it appears in sci.environment, it is prolix meaningless shit
juggled by idiots.

Why, Uncle Al! Where did you hear that? Nobody in sci.environment has heard
about it.

Hmm. You seem to be taking it hard. Must be too much exposure to some real
nbasty chemicals over in sci.chem.

Aha. Delusional. I thought so. Any chemist worth his salt knows that methane
clathrate hydrate exists. It has been written up in enough peer reviewed
articles. First noticed in gas pipelines in siberia where water was present
( with cold and pressure ). See http://kristall.uni-mki.gwdg.de/homep4.htm
for a descrption of the concept. Generally known as methane hydrate as a
short form.

Whoa. First you say it doesn't exist, now you talk about the dangers of
mining it? Sad to see a brilliant mind collapse into meaningless babble.

Ah. Conclusive evidence of mental instability. Of course, reasoned and
enlightened discourse seems irrational to those in a state of insanity. It
is nice to learn a new word though. Prolix is a good one. Describes this
sort of rambling and meaningless diatribe perfectly.
