CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, Dec. 1 (TNSRes) -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued the following news on Nov. 30:
Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest-burning of all the fossil fuels, but when emitted into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. By some estimates, seafloor methane contained in frozen formations along the continental margins may equal or exceed the total amount of coal, oil, and gas in all other re . . .
