China claims breakthrough in mining 'flammable ice'
China has claimed a major energy breakthrough, but its eco credentials are dubious at best. Researchers say they managed to extract gas from flammable ice in the South China Sea. A frozen mix of natural gas and water known as methane hydrates, the 'breakthrough' is expected to revolutionize the future of energy. We're not sure that's a good idea.[...]
