Playing With Frozen Fire By Stephen Leahy

More energy is trapped under the sea as frozen natural gas than is stored in all the world's oil reserves -- and researchers this week took a step toward tapping it.
Vast reserves of methane hydrates -- a form of natural gas -- could power the world for decades to come. But mining the deep, frozen deposits presents an enormous technical challenge.
An estimated 200,000 trillion cubic feet of methane hydrates exists under the sea, and the Department of Energy has a major research program under way that could result in commercial production starting by 2015.

Biodiesel can power the world for thousands of yrs since its a grown product.
animal waste , human waste , oil producing crops , algea , and other products can be used as biodiesel. I personally would rather have a fresh popcorn smell out my tail pipe than the waste products.
trillions will be spend on hydrogen when a solution is already here to get USA off the oil kick and help the enviroment.

lars-ss,
I don't think the world needs even more fossil fuel burning, with the CO2 concentration increase that will follow.
iboomalot,
I agree, even if I am not sure that there is enough biomass to replace all fossil fuels being used today.
