This is a seemingly insignificant news story, but don't let appearances
fool you: this is in fact one of the most important news items of the
year, with enormous long term ramifications. You see, a tremendous
amount of clean hydrogen energy is stored in the form of gas hydrates
(frozen gas and water, basically) found on ocean floors across the
world. Until now, nobody has known how to tap into these gas hydrates to
release the hydrogen. And, of course, we don't yet have a hydrogen
economy, since most engines still run on
oil in one form or another. But
put the pieces together in the near future: hydrogen-powered vehicles in
the form of
fuel cells, plus a plentiful, clean source of
hydrogen fuel from these gas hydrates found on the ocean floor. Now you've got a whole
new world
economy where Canada and even Japan are sources of
fuel, and
the Middle East is no longer so strategically important. The science is
all here: we have the fuel cells and now a plentiful source of
hydrogen that doesn't come from barrels of oil. It's only a matter of time before
these come together in our economy.
